Logical Line Extension
 
Liberty BASIC supports a technique called logical-line-extension, which allows one line of code to be split over several lines of text in the editor.  For example:
 
open "user32" for dll as #u
calldll #u, "GetWindowRect", hMain as long, Rect as struct, result as long
close #u
 
A line can get long and difficult to read!  Consider the following equivalent.
 
    Open "user32" For DLL As #u
    CallDLL #u, "GetWindowRect",_
    hMain As long,_
    Rect As struct,_
    result As long
    Close #u
 
 
When the line is broken up with the _ character, the code is more readable.
