Using a different code editor

You may use a third-party editor to create and modify Liberty BASIC code. You can even write your own code editor in Liberty BASIC! In order to run the code with Liberty BASIC from another program, use the following startup options to LIBERTY.EXE:

-R Run a BAS file on startup

-D Debug a BAS file on startup

--------the following three are in the registered version only--------

-T Make a TKN file from a BAS file on startup

-A Automatically Exit LB on completion of BAS file

-M Minimize the Liberty BASIC editor on startup

Examples:

LIBERTY -R -M PROG.BAS 'run PROG.BAS with editor minimized

LIBERTY -T -A PROG.BAS 'create a TKN file from PROG.BAS then exit

LIBERTY -D PROG.BAS 'run the debugger on PROG.BAS

As it appears when used in a code editor written in Liberty BASIC:

RUN "LIBERTY -R -M PROG.BAS" 'run PROG.BAS with editor minimized

RUN "LIBERTY -T -A PROG.BAS" 'create a TKN file from PROG.BAS then exit

RUN "LIBERTY -D PROG.BAS" 'run the debugger on PROG.BAS
