Statements

Use the STOP statement to break program execution at specific points in a
program. After a program is stopped you can display or modify variables.
You can resume program execution with a CONT command (page 10 -3).
The STOP statement allows for easy program debugging.

Note that the line number printed out after execution of the STOP
statement is the line number following the STOP statement, not the line
number that contains the STOP statement.
