Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Manual says "If your program stops with an error pressing the function key F4 at the command prompt will run the command EDIT and place you back in the editor with the cursor positioned at the line that caused the error. This edit/run/edit cycle is very fast."
I would like to see that the cursor is positioned always at the line (or even character?) where we Saved or Run the program and go back to Edit. (funny enough one can put an error where he works let the program die and then even at a run with that error fixed the editor will jump there)
At lengthy programs it can take quite some time to reach the point where we just edited.
BTW: Ctrl-K does not work for me (just jumps EOL), Teraterm Config problem or?
Cheers, Carsten

The PicoMite uses exactly the same editor code as every other MMBasic variant (except the CMM2) so it is not sensible to change it in just one port - sorry
Ctrl-K is a bug in the manual it is just the ctrl code version of END (again same as MM2 etc.) The manual is correct on page 16 but not on page 15. I've notified Geoff
