Space-bar 
depressed. 
Execute

The 
NEXT 
command executes  the number of macroinstructions indicated 
by 
<COUNT>. 
The console 
enters the program 
I/O 
mode to perform the instruction, prints the halt code and current contents of the 
PC, then returns to  the console 
I/O 
mode idle  loop after the 
<COUNT> 
completes. 
If 
no 
number 
is 
given for  the 
<COUNT>, 
one  instruction 
is 
executed and  console  enters  the  space-bar 
STEP 
mode.  In space-bar  STEP  mode,  the next microinstruction 
is 
executed when  the  space-bar 
is 
depressed. The  console  enters  the  console 
I/O 
mode idle  loop from the  space-bar STEP mode  when a 
<CR> 
is 
typed. 
NOTE 
During execution 
of 
the NEXT command, interrupts
