Editing Vilnius BASIC (section)

===Commands and statements===
The list of keywords supported in Vilnius can be separated into two groups, those that can only be used in direct mode, and those that can be direct or indirect.

The former, known as commands, included the common {{code|CONT, LIST, NEW, RUN}}. {{code|CLOAD and CSAVE}} load and save programs to [[cassette tape]]. {{code|AUTO}} turned on automatic line number entry, {{code|RENUM}} renumbered the lines in the current program, and {{code|DELETE}} deleted ranges of lines using the same "to" format as LIST, for instance, {{code|DELETE -200}} would delete everything from the start of the program up to an including line 200.

Vilnius' primitives were similar to other BASICs of the era, and supported most of the elementary statements like {{mono|DATA, DEF FN, DIM, END, [[For loop|FOR..TO..STEP..NEXT]], [[GOSUB]], [[GOTO]], [[Conditional (programming)|IF..THEN]] with an optional ELSE, INPUT, (optional) LET, LIST, PRINT, ON...GOTO and ON...GOSUB, READ, [[Comment (computer programming)|REM]], RESTORE, [[Return statement|RETURN]], STOP}}. In contrast to most dialects, Vilnius did not allow more than one statement per line.
