HELP POPNEWLINE Steven Hardy, March 1982 <boolean> -> popnewline; If the variable POPNEWLINE is set to TRUE, then when the itemiser encounters a newline character in the input, instead of ignoring it it will return the word NEWLINE. This facility can be used to write procedures like *READLINE, which stops reading items in when it encounters the word NEWLINE. The default value of POPNEWLINE is FALSE. It is user-assignable. See also REF *ITEMISE - for more details of itemisation, REF *SYSIO - for more information on Input/Output procedures HELP *NEWLINE - on the variable NEWLINE HELP *NL - for a procedure that prints a specified number of newlines HELP *ASCII - on character codes
