qb64/internal/help/Colon.txt
Luke Ceddia b586eafd3b Integrated _BLINEINPUT into regular LINE INPUT for BINARY files
LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle
that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command
has been removed.

qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files,
at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt
was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing
the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's
smoothed over.

Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

Plaintext

A '''colon''' can be used to separate two unrelated procedure statements on the same line.
''Usage:'' COLOR 10: PRINT "Hello "; : COLOR 12: PRINT "World"
{{OutputStart}}
{{text|Hello |limegreen}}{{text|World|red}}
{{OutputEnd}}
* Use colons to combine variable definition statements or screen [[PRINT|prints]].
* Some statements such as [[END IF]] and [[Metacommand]]s require a new code line!
* Use [[Semicolon|semicolons]] and [[Comma|commas]] where appropriate in [[PRINT]]s.
* Use an [[underscore]] at the end of a line to extend a line of code to the next line.
''See also:''
* [[Comma]], [[Semicolon]]
