# COLON

Compatible with:
DOS Maximite CMM M150 MM170 MM+ MMX Picromite ArmiteL4 Armite F4 ArmiteH7 Picomite CMM2

Syntax:
label:
statements : statements

Description:
If the first word on a line of code ends with a colon, the word is treated as a label. Labels are used as the target for data read statements and goto and gosub targets.

Any other colon not within a string or comment is treated the same a an end-of-line.

This allows mutiple statements on a single line.

It is advisable to have a space character before the multiline version of colon to differentiate it from a label.
