Oh. True, false...I guess it does make more sense. I know what you
mean about subtle changes. On my 83 and my earlier 81 you can't have
names for things like on the 85/86. Like you can't have a variable
called REAL or something like that. Mainly its just the letters,
ABCD.... I find that I get rattled when I look at the code for 85 and
higher because there's so many WORDS! I like my short little numbers
and letters.
