2.6 continue

continue [ "prog" ]


This command is effective only while PROG is in the interupted macro mode or inside interrupted do-loop or if-statements, which serves as a debug mode for lengthy macros or block structures

Make sure you have returned to the same sub menue before you continue!


Without parameters PROG resumes the execution of a macro or block structure in the line following the 'stop' command. If you had started another macro while debugging a macro, and this new macro contained a 'stop' command as well, the 'continue' command will run the remaining lines in the new macro and then stop again at the position of the 'stop' command in the outer macro.

By providing the 'prog' parameter, PROG immediately interupts all macros and returns to the normal prompt.
