Without Arguments

The AUTOSPLIT command acts is toggled on and off. The first time you issue the AUTOSPLIT command, it reverses the current setting.

Entering a carriage return with the AUTOSPLIT command turned on is identical to issuing the TS command with the default numeric argument of 1. The results of a carriage return with the AUTOSPLIT command turned on can be reversed by the TC command or undone with the UNDO command.
