[Info-vax] Basic again

[Arne Vajhøj]

My lack of skills in VMS Basic are back to haunt me.

$ type z.pas
program z(input,output);

begin
    writeln('XXX');
    writeln('YYY' + chr(13) + chr(10));
    writeln('ZZZ');
end.
$ pas z
$ link z
$ r z
XXX
YYY

ZZZ
$ type z.bas
program z

print "XXX"
print "YYY" + chr$(13) + chr$(10)
print "ZZZ"

end program
$ bas z
$ link z
$ run z
XXX
YYY
ZZZ

Why are there no empty line between YYY and ZZZ in the Basic
example??

(VMS Basic 1.8 on VMS Alpha)
