Editing BASIC-PLUS (section)

===Editing===
Line numbers were positive integers from 1 to 32767.{{sfn|PLUS|1972|p=2-1}} Logical lines of code could be continued on multiple physical lines by using a [[line feed]] at the end of a line instead of the normal [[carriage return]] character.{{sfn|PLUS|1972|p=2-3}} For ease of external editing of the source file, later versions of BASIC-PLUS also allowed the {{code|&}} character as a line continuation character.

Multiple statements could be placed on a single line using {{code|:}} as the statement separator.{{sfn|PLUS|1972|p=2-3}} The system allowed tabs to be used as inline whitespace, and was used to make loops more clear, as in modern languages.{{sfn|PLUS|1972|p=2-6}} Comments used either the {{code|REM}} keyword or the {{code|2=basic|!}} character,{{sfn|PLUS|1972|p=3-1}} as opposed to MS BASICs, which used {{code|REM}} and {{code|'}}.
