Hi, I was wondering how many chracters per line PCBASIC can accept? Because I was trying this music program 'HALLE.BAS' and I first thought that it had som garbage characters between lines or something like that, but I have observed that some lines was a bit long. Is there an option that I can longate somewhat the statemente lines in a program in PCBASIC?
BTW, I'm trying to post you an attachment, but I can't see the feature. Where can I insert the attachmente?

Hi Ron, thanks for the report. The maximum number of characters per line is 255. It seems that GW-BASIC does not include the return character at the end in that count and PC-BASIC does, so that effectively it only allows 254 characters. Line 60 in your program has 255 characters which is why it runs into this problem. I'll fix for .6 release so that it accepts 255 characters properly.
Cheers
Rob
