Description:

Call routine &9C6A to check that the BASIC statement is correct and ends correctly

[&9045] Call routine &BF3E to carry out the NEW command as follows:: * Set TOP (&12-&13) to PAGE (&18, LSB of PAGE is always zero); * Set TRACE flag (&20) to 0 (meaning that TRACE is OFF); * Store #&0D as the first byte of the program, i.e. the '<cr>' character; * Store #&FF as the second byte of the program (previously this byte contained the line number MSB value); These 2 characters specify a null program ('<cr>' specifies program start and #&FF specifies program end); * Set TOP to point to the next byte after these two characters

After the NEW command has been carried out, continue to routine &9048 to prompt for the next command line and then
execute any entered commands.
