View Ref-FileThis option tests the placement of CONT inside SELECT/ENDSELECT constructs.
CONT must proceed a CASE or DEFAULT command otherwise it does not work at all.
It also checks for misplaced code between SELECT and CASE/DEFAULT statements.

Example: works
  x&=1
  SELECT x&
  CASE 1
    PRINT "x is equal to 1"
    CONT
  CASE 2
    PRINT "x is equal to 2"
  CASE 1,3
    PRINT "x is equal to 3"
  DEFAULT
    PRINT "x is not equal to 1, 2, or 3"
  ENDSELECT

Example: fails
  x&=1
  SELECT x&
  CASE 1
    PRINT "x is equal to 1"
    CONT
    ' even a comment causes it to fail in the editor!
  CASE 2
    PRINT "x is equal to 2"
  CASE 1,3
    PRINT "x is equal to 3"
  DEFAULT
    PRINT "x is not equal to 1, 2, or 3"
  ENDSELECT

Example: unreachable code
  x&=1
  SELECT x&
    CLS  !generates code, but unreachable
  CASE 1
    PRINT "hello world"
  ENDSELECT
