Executable text files



I'm travelling at the moment and my ancient Powerbook isn't fast enough
to run a decent emulator, so I've been working on some Applesoft
projects with BBEdit. I'm wondering how Basic System interprets control
characters when EXECing a text file.
Mainly I'm concerned with things like Tabs, Spaces and CRs within line,
which is mainly to keep my listings legible, as such:

1000 PRINT "HELLO";
        : PRINT CHR$ (32);
        : PRINT "WORLD"
        : GOTO 1000 : REM         sorry I didn't use GOSUB

Is this acceptable, or does each Applesoft line have to be unbroken.
