Preface

With the roots of the BASIC language now firmly established

throughout the world, it is necessary to make its many dialects

understandable so programs can be transported between different

computers. After you've found just the program you've been

looking for, you know how frustrating it is only to discover that it

won't RUN on your computer. This HANDBOOK addresses that

problem by discussing in detail every commonly used BASIC

Statement, Function, Operator and Command.

For the most part, BASIC words mean the same thing to every

computer which recognizes them.

a computer does not possess

the capabilities of a needed or specified word, there are often

ways to accomplish the same function by using another word, or

combination of words.

That's where The HANDBOOK comes in.

helps you get the

most from your computer, be it a "bottom-of-the-line" micro, or

an oversized monster.

Have fun computing!
