Hi Tom,

Thanks for the links. I'll go and check them out after this
reply.

The file is buried on the CD :) The directory is:

Auge CD/GS.8bit/Disk 117 :caGS.8bit.07/BASIC.Stuff/SBASIC

I also attached a copy since it's pretty small. Plus I'll include
the commands I was able to read from a hex dump. In no particular
order since it was written down in one of my scratch notebooks.

You might want to double check the file to verify the accuracy
of the commands and text. It was a while back when I hexed it.

Based upon some of these commands, it looks like there is control
for DHR graphics. Some improved cursor control and definate
improvements for structure and procedures. Too bad this didn't
come out sooner but like Alan Bird's ProBasic, it was a little
too late and the Apple II was a dying breed as far as the
computer market was concerned.
