Remark: This article describes the BASIC-Command CONT in BASIC V2 at the Commodore 64.
Typ: Command General Programming-Syntax: CONT
The BASIC-Command CONT is used to make a BASIC program, which either ended in an END or STOP command, or was halted by pressing the RUN/STOP -key, resume execution.
Note that CONT fails to work if the BASIC program is edited after stopping; editing the program recalculates and overwrites the start of variable memory pointers, effectively clearing variable memory. Therefore, trying to CONTinue a program that was stopped, then edited, yields the BASIC error message ?CAN'T CONTINUE ERROR..
