I normally restructure the code when I'm getting up towards 80 characters.

The one that annoys me most, where a line-continuation would be most useful is array initialization.

So I'd like to put something like

Dim myArray(30)=(15,0,345,9,127, ... )

...but it won't fit on a line

I resort to something like:

Dim myArray(30)
label_myArray:
data 15,0,345,9,127, ...
data ...
restore label_myArray:for i=0 to 30:read myArray(i):next i

Some versions of BASIC have a 'line continuation' character (underscore or similar) but as far as I know, MMBasic doesn't have that.
