== Underscore and ampersand ==

The line continuation (_) and multiple statement on a line (&) characters can be combined to produce a connected and structured code block. For example, the following IF/THEN statement includes multiple actions to be taken if the condition is true:
IF OPTION$="QUIT" THEN_
CLOSE (1) &_
PRINT (0) "STOPPING PROGRAM NOW." &_
PRINT (0) "PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE." &_
INPUT (0) "" &_
RUN "QMONITOR"

'''Note:''' This example could also be written with the IF/ENDIF structure. In that case, the line continuation and multiple statements characters would not be used. For more information, see the IF statement.
