Is there a way to continue a long line of code across multiple physical lines? If so, it's hidden pretty well in the documentation because I couldn't find it. If not, could you add one please?

Thanks,

In BASIC it is not possible to separate single code line into several physical lines if this code does not support multi-line syntax.
But there is no need to do it - long line automatically wraps into several lines of code if it does not fit into single line.

About multi-line syntax:
some commands can be naturally coded in multiple lines.

For example:

IF a=b THEN do_something ELSE do_another_stuff

can be coded as:

IF a=b THEN
do_something
ELSE
do_another_stuff
END IF

Thanks for the quick reply! My problem is that I have (for example) something like:

WHILE <very long and convoluted Booloean expression involving nested ANDs and ORs and references to multidimensional arrays, etc.>
' do some stuff
END WHILE

It'd be nice if I could split that WHILE condition to format it in a more readable way, but I understand that SB isn't implemented that way. I guess I could do it just by inserting spaces and letting it wrap, but that's kind of gross. No problem; I just wanted to know.

Kudos in general for a really excellent interpreter!

Thank you!

As for me, complex logical constructions I usually split into parts like that:

IF some_complex_expression THEN p1=1 ELSE p1=0
IF another_complex_expression THEN p2=1 ELSE p2=0
IF p1 OR p2 THEN do_what_needed
