OK Bill.  Global vars in B09 require some big sttrucutre (oops, TYPE) that you
pass as an arg to every procedure. But you're right, with all those structured
Basics popping up on the PCs, it's nice to brag that we were there long before.

I just find B09 awkward to wrok with.  Probably could improve my attitude a LOT
by using a real editor in another window, re-LOADing each fix, instead of
messing with the built-in editor.

Seriously, Microware really should update that editor for fullscreen. But if
you use it only for quick fixes, what the heck.

B09 desparately needs an an "include" or "Use" file thingie so TYPEs can be
defined the same in all procedures. Also Microware should do a compiler from
I-code to binary -that would give the PC crowd a run for their money. --mike k
