To give your subroutine an appearently REMless title do the
|
following:
|
1) Enter the REM on desired line
|
followed by a quote (").
|
2) Press <CR>
|
3) Cursor up to that line and
|
to the right of that quote
|
turn on reverse mode (CTRL
|
RVS-ON).
|
4) Now press SHIFT M and SHIFT Q.
|
5) Press the quote again then
|
delete it.
|
6) Enter the comment you wish to
|
be entered as a REMark.
|
7) Press quote and then delete
|
it.
|
8) RVS-ON.
|
9) Next SHIFT Z.
|
10) Finally, <CR>.
|
That's all there is to it! I can't take credit for this one. It
|
belongs to Luis Pistoia of Argentina.
|
To produce the indentation effect found in certain PASCAL and C
|
editors, use the colon (:). That's all! The following give examples of
|
what I mean:
|
----------
|
PROGRAM #1
|
----------
|
10 :FOR I = 1 TO 10
|
12 : FOR J = 1 TO 10
|
14 : FOR K = 1 TO 10
|
16 : PRINT
|
18 : PRINT
|
20 : PRINT
|
22 : PRINT K,
|
24 : PRINT J,
|
26 : PRINT I
|
28 : PRINT
|
30 : PRINT
|
32 : PRINT
|
34 : NEXT K
|
36 : NEXT J
|
38 :NEXT I
|
----------
|
PROGRAM #2
|
----------
|
10 :REM THIS IS AN EXAMPLE IN
|
12 :REM STRUCTURED PROGRAM DESIGN
|
14 :REM
|
16 :BEGINNING=1: FINISH=12
|
18 :FOR LOOP = BEGINNING TO FINISH
|
20 : PRINT "LOOP #"; LOOP
|
22 : PRINT: PRINT: PRINT
|
24 :NEXT LOOP
|
99 :STOP
|
Also, in PROGRAM #2 I use long variable names to make the program more
|
readable. Naturally BASIC will only re the first two characters of
|
the variable. For example the BASIC interpreter will refer to the
|
variable BEGINNING as BE.
|
I hope these hints are helpful. If they are, pass them on!

Documentation for BASMOD
|
------------------------
|
BASMOD is a modification by Joel Rubin
|
of a program which appeared in the
|
August 1983 COMPUTE! Gazette (Note 1)
|
which adds four new graphics commands
|
to your Commodore 64. It enables you
|
to plot points on a high resolution
|
screen with simple commands from
|
BASIC.
|
What the Program Does
|
---------------------
|
Part of BASMOD consists of a machine
|
language routine which copies the
|
BASIC ROM (Read Only Memory), which
|
interprets BASIC commands, into RAM
|
(Random Access Memory). ROM is
|
"permanent" memory - that is, the
|
program stored in ROM is "burned" into
|
the ROM memory chip so that it is not
|
lost when power is removed from the
|
'64. This "permanent" machine
|
language program, and its counterpart,
|
the KERNAL ROM, which oversees the
|
general operation of the '64, are
|
essential to the function of all BASIC
|
programs; they tell the computer what
|
it should do when it "sees" a BASIC
|
command such as PRINT or LOAD, either
|
in a program or typed in from the
|
keyboard ("immediate" mode).
