Here's what I see about the LINE command from my book "Going Ahead with Extended Color Basic":
LINE (x1,y1)-(x2,y2),a,b
(x1,y1) specifies the line's start point. x1 is any numeric expression from 0 to 255, y1 from 0 to 191.
(x2, y2) specifies the line's end point. x1 is any numeric expression from 0 to 255, y1 from 0 to 191.
a is eitehr PSET or PRESET
b is either B or BF. This is optional.
Note: If start point is not specified, the Computer will start at teh most recent end point in the program. If there isn't a previous end point in the program, (128,96) will be used as the start point.
I don't see a reference to a color parameter in the PRESET command. Let me know if you need me to look up anything else; I'm more than happy to help out.
