  Quote  Is that desired behaviour? The manual says the OPTION DEFAULT and OPTION EXLICIT are tied to the program, and are actually cleared at every new run.


Same as every version of MMBasic.


@Volhout, note that "in theory" you are supposed to be able to CONTINUE a BASIC program after Ctrl-C, END or ERROR - see the manual - so when you get dumped to the command-line the state of the interpreter remains as it was in the program until NEW ... at least in theory. In practice Peter/MMBasic has to disable any installed software interrupts, stop PLAY commands (on my request) and perform various other cleanups to keep the command-line usable and these mean that programs making using of these features are not really CONTINUEable and the command is now rather a historical anachronism.

YMMV,
