26 Sep 2010 05:15:24 pm by Bobiscoolio Inserting lines without deleting Quote
I recently was doing a bit of programming and when I was almost finished I realized that I forgot an important line. I really dont want to delete 50+ lines and I dont know how to add lines without overwriting... So does anyone know the procedure for it?
I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum and if you can see, I am fairly new Razz.

I also happened to find some bugs (if they are even bugs) in Doors CS7 which I will list below.

-If you rename a program using Doors then you can no longer edit the program using the calculator. You must use Doors (No I did not go over the word limit or write in lowercase)
-If you are using the following code
:Axesoff
:Ctrlhome
:CtrlDraw
And you try checking the program to see if it works it "skips" the last page. Meaning that the last page you use it automatically ends the program. However if you execute the program regularly (meaning by pressing Programs and executing) the program wont automatically end.


Thanks for the help guys Smile

Hi Bob, in order to insert a line inside a BASIC program, press 2nd and then Enter above where you want to insert the line.
As for the DCS things, you should make another post in the DCS forum about those.

I think he is talking about [2nd][Del] that will let you insert a line. At least that was the way I read it. [2nd][Enter] will overwrite the current line with the last thing entered on the homescreen.

Edit: Oh and hi Bob! Welcome to Cemetech!

Oops, yup, that's what I meant. I left out the Del (which is INS after you press 2nd). Good catch, _player. Sorry about that. You do still need to press enter after that, though.
So, 2nd-del-enter.

Razz i had that exact same problem when trying to figure out basic on my own.

EDIT: oh, and hithur. pleasure to meet you

Welcome back, Bob! Glad to see that you have some programming questions once you got DCS working.

As everyone said, [2nd][DEL] turns on insertion mode.

The program is edit-locked now. Just right-click the program and choose (un)Lock.

*ClrHome *ClrDraw, I think. Smile I'm confused by your use of the word "page"; can you be more specific?
