# The Basic Editor

The Basic Editor provides the standard editing functions you are familiar with when working in a text document. It supports the functions of the Edit menu (Cut, Delete, Paste), the ability to select text with the Shift key, as well as cursor positioning functions (for example, moving from word to word with Command Ctrl and the arrow keys).

Long lines can be split into several parts by inserting a space and an underline character _ as the last two characters of a line. This connects the line with the following line to one logical line. (If "Option Compatible" is used in the same Basic module, the line continuation feature is also valid for comment lines.)

If you press the Run BASIC icon on the Macro bar, program execution starts at the first line of the Basic editor. The program executes the first Sub or Function and then program execution stops. The "Sub Main" does not take precedence on program execution.

Insert your Basic code between the Sub Main and End Sub lines that you see when you first open the IDE. Alternatively, delete all lines and then enter your own Basic code.
