Hello, and I've got and used a Simons' BASIC cart for the C-64.  It's
best feature is arguably a simpler syntax for doing speedier graphics
stuff but a lot of the convenient C-64 key combinations for things like
upper/lower case and character color aren't available.  OTOH, the cart
does support function key programming with immediate execute and you can
always save the key definitions to a file for future use.  The only
reason I originally bought the cartridge was to run some ham radio Smith
Chart programs written by Lynn Gerig.  Sincerely,
