Immediate window

The Immediate window instantly evaluates any expression or statement in Sax Basic, such as a call to a Sub or Function. It can also be used to assign a variable.

  • Type "?expr" <ENTER> to show the value of "expr".
  • Type "var = expr" <ENTER> to change the value of "var".
  • Type "Set var = expr" <ENTER> to change the reference of "var".
  • Type "subname args" <ENTER> to call a subroutine or built-in instruction.
  • Type "Trace" <ENTER> to toggle trace mode. Trace mode prints each statement in the immediate window when a macro is running.
