Then just renumber and your program starts 1000,1010...etc." 1 "What you can do is renumber the subroutines including the one that's running now (5000)." 1 "Utility2 is a screen-resident tool which performs operations on a selected range of line numbers. It features a Block Delete, an Alphacom 32 printer driver and a Renumber program." 1 "Use the horizontal cursor keys to adjust the first and last lines. Then move the green bar to Delete and press ENTER." 1 "To prevent the editor deleting the program as it redraws the screen select the Screen option." 1 "This will send the selected linerange to a ZX/Alphacom 32 type printer." 1 "There's a slight chance that a renumber could run out of memoryin which case the menu bar will turn red and you should return to Basic." 1 "The two lines and all lines in between will be removed." 1 "The step between lines defaults to 10 and although it's unusual to employ a larger step, you might like to reduce it to 1, 2 or 5. Go larger if you wish. :) " 1 "The renumber will have worked but in one or two places the utility will have had to use the 1 "The program was first published in OUTLET microdrive magazine Issue 22, June 1989.

However if the first line numberwas 1, you'll now have 1,11,21 etc." 1 "So have another go but this timealter the destination number, which defaults to the first linenumber, to 10.(Use < >)." 1 "Simply set the first/last lines THEN adjust the destination and step, select Renumber and wait." 1 "Remember you can use the lister and Block Delete with any 1 "Program finished" 1 "Now here's the best bit.

There's no need to alter RAMTOP before loading and only the four cursorkeys and ENTER are used." 1 "If you'd like the program to start at 1000, then it would be quite tedious to alter the 1 "If you want to move lines, but don't wish to alter the step between lines, select a step of 0." 1 "If you simply renumber this 1 "If the renumber or move fails then lines greater than 9999 would have occured or a clash oflines would have been produced. 1 "Holding BREAK will stop the 1 "GO TO VAL ""1000"", GO TO 3E3, GO TO PI * PI, GO TO 70.3, 1 "Even so, it's preferable to the laborious and error-prone methodof doing it yourself. 1 "But that's enough .
