PRINT A
NEXT X

Notice that there are no line numbers entered here. Also notice that when you
type in the lines within the for/next loop, they are indented. This is because the
BASIC development software recognizes that you are entering a BASIC
development language program (since your filename extension is BDL) and
the default parameters are set for smart indenting. There are a number of other
related parameters for BDL files discussed in Chapter 3.

We recommend that you periodically save sizeable programs as you work on them
to avoid losing large quantities of work in the event of a system error or power
failure.
The BASIC development software has an autosave feature that offers two methods
for automatically saving files as you work on them. It also has a backup feature with
several methods for making backup files. These features are described in Chapter 3.
1. If using a mouse, move the cursor over to the File menu at the top left and click
the left mouse button. If you do not have a mouse, press [
F2] to move the
cursor to the pull-down menus. Cursor to the right or left to highlight the File
menu and press
[Enter].

2. Move the cursor to
Save file in current window and press [RETURN] or
click the left mouse button.
Since you have previously named and saved the file in the current window and
selected
Save file in current window, the software assumes you are saving
it under its existing name. A message appears in the message line indicating
that the save was completed.
