AUTO

Syntax: AUTO [start_number][,step]
Location: QL ROM

AUTO automatically creates line numbers in the command line (#0) to assist in entering SuperBASIC programs.

Once entered, you will be presented with the first line  start_number (default 100) - if this line already exists in the program, then the existing line will be presented.  Otherwise, you will only see the current line number.

Pressing up and down arrow keys to move you to the previous line or the next line (respectively) in the program, although if there is no previous (or next) line in existence, this will exit AUTO mode.

Pressing <ENTER> will generate the next line by adding STEP to the current line number.

If you wish to escape this sequence, press the Break key <CTRL><SPACE>.

Example:
AUTO 1000,10    generates lines 1000,1010,1020,1030,...
AUTO 10         generates lines 10,20,30,40,....
AUTO ,5         generates lines 100,105,110,115,...

NOTE:
The maximum line number is 32767.

SMS NOTE:
On current versions of SMS AUTO is the same as ED.

Cross-Reference:
EDIT and DLINE.
