Syntax: STOP
Function: Breaks program execution; resume with the CONT command.
Mode: Run
Use: STOP
DESCRIPTION
The STOP instruction lets you break program execution at specific locations in a program. You can display
and modify variables after STOPping a program. STOP is useful for program debugging. The CONT
command lets you resume program execution.
The line number printed after execution of a STOP instruction is the line number following the instruction
and not the line number containing the STOP instruction.
If you modify a STOPped program, CONT will be unable to continue execution.
