Consume the COLON token: a line can hold several statements The token has existed since the scanner was written and nothing read it, so 10 PRINT A$ : REM ... was a parse error. Leading separators are consumed before each statement and an empty statement yields a NULL leaf rather than an error, so a trailing colon and a run of them are both legal. BASIC 7.0 scopes everything after THEN to the condition, which the reference had no opinion about because it never got here. The rule is not "skip when false": the rest of the line belongs to whichever arm was written last. A whole FOR/NEXT on one line still does not loop -- block skipping works by source line. Recorded in TODO.md as what group A has to fix first. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> 2026-07-31 11:46:10 -04:00			`A`
