Let's make this a new thread (continuing from #83320).



In the variety of BASICs I went across through those years I remember 2 features trying to "ease the pain":
1. command AUTO - starts automatic numbering - i.e. each time you enter a line, a new line number appears (usually the previous line number +10) so you just write your code
2. command RENUM(?) - renumbers your whole program so that the line numbers go neatly 10,20,30... Sure it modifies also the GOTO and GOSUB references to be right.

In BASIC52, the first can be incorporated quite easily; while the second can be written as a BASIC program...

But, first, the line editor has to be modified to be more comfortable - now it enables only deleting letters from the end.

Although, you can edit your program comfortably at a PC and send it to the chip as a whole.

Yes, sure, the BASCOM compiler is pro, nicer, updated.

But the interpreter is more fun, I think.
