Spectrum ROM: Routine at 1BF4

1BF4: THE 'STMT-NEXT' ROUTINE

Used by the routines at STMT_RET and NEXT_LINE. The routine at CHECK_END continues here. If the present character is a 'carriage return' then the 'next statement' is on the 'next line'; if ':' it is on the same line; but if any other character is found then there is an error in syntax.
