Hello all, it seems that the mmbasic editor can show only the first 40 characters of a line.
How can i see / edit the part that is beyond the 40 characters?
Thank you for any pointers
If you’re using version 6.00.02, add OPTION CONTINUATION LINES ON to your options. Once that is done, you can add a space and an underscore to the end of the first part of the line. Then hit enter and type more of the line. If you need more than 80 characters, repeat the space underscore at the end of the next line and type the third line. If you’re not using 6.00.02, you really should get it. It’s in the Release Candidate stage and is almost finalized. There’s even a preliminary manual for it which means the final version isn’t far off. Get it here:

Before the end of the line press return to split it into two and do your editing. When done backspace to join the two halves together again.
I’m using it for my todolist - I generate code comments as line entries - then use terminal to upload to the picocalc so the 40 column limit is not an issue - I used to print these list to paper..
