I think it's possible to convert BASIC 7 to a C64 expansion BASIC *to a
degree*: remember that the C128 has 128k of RAM--over 118k available for
BASIC--while most C64 expansion BASICs use only 30k for BASIC.  Also note
that you may have to port the code 
yourself, as the tokens would be different.  Finally, note that some
C128-specific features--i.e. the BANK command--will be unavailable.  Does
this help?
