For interactive work, when you issue a standard IF: command, the
program simply copies your further inputs (without obeying any commands)
until you input an ENDIF: command to mark the end of the construction.
Thereafter the commands are processed in the usual way.
The
interactive construction causes the
copying of command lines to a temporary file. Every line is copied as an
original, without any parsing: errors in the command syntax may be
reported, but the process will continue. During such interactive work, the following
prompt is used:
BD<
to indicate to you that the program is awaiting an ENDIF:
statement before
processing your inputs.
