Description

Multiple commands can be placed on a line by separating each command with a ';' character. The ';' character may also be used to continue a literal character string to the next line. When the ';' character is used in this way, a space is added to the string. If ';' is the last character on a line, it can be used as a continuation character to extend commands over more than one line.


Example

// Used as a command separator
if deleted()
    dialog box "Record deleted."; clear; return
else
    dialog box "Record not deleted."
endif
// Used as a continuation character
menu browse accounts->name;
label "Account Names"
// Used in a character string
dialog message "That file does not exist.  Do you wish to;
continue?"
