Program Editing
This chapter explains the methods for editing MELFA-BASIC V programs.
For RT ToolBox2 command statement editing, you can input in the same way as with a general editor like a
notebook. There is no need to input the [Enter] key for each line as was the case with RT ToolBox.
8.6.1. MELFA-BASIC V command statement editing
When writing a program using MELFA-BASIC V, you do not use line numbers, unlike MELFA-BASIC IV or
Movemaster commands. Instead the step position is displayed on the left end. These step numbers are
automatically displayed with the keyboard [Enter] key.
Even if you input MELFA-BASIC V commands with all lowercase characters, when the program is written to
the robot controllers, the commands are converted into the correct mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters.

When this is written to the robot
controller, it is converted into
uppercase and lowercase
characters in correct
MELFA-BASIC V format.
