HiSoft basic 2

[alphagemini]

Hi, I am using HiSoft basic 2, which works well for my code, but I have a
problem. I use long lines of code containing IF/OR statements and I need to
increase the line length to contain all the input. Or it would be neat if the code
could be put on the next line and be read by the compiler.

How do I do this?

Thanks in advance

Are you able to put a single Forward Slash at the end of the line and continue on to the next?

Thanks for your answer, I will try it

The closest I can get is a Under Score in Visual Basic.
I am getting to wonder if a Carriage Return would terminate a line.
To me that means keep typing till you get to the left side of the screen and continue on and then Carriage Return.

[alphagemini]

no, it doesn't work. Neither / or _ causes a carriage return.

Is it possible to increase the line buffer?

[alphagemini]

I have looked into the HB2 manual and it says that the line buffer can be changed " by modifying the long word at SYSTAB+68"

Does anyone know what this obscure sentence means? Where is SYSTAB? How do you get to it?

Thanks for your patience!

Sorry, I am at a loss.
I have not used a Basic by Hisoft before.
Are you using the Pro. version?

[alphagemini]

I don't know, the manual says simply version 2 1994.

Have you tried using a backslash?
