So, I am working on another fun project on my trusty old TRS-80's.
I need the ability to do multi-line functions which TRS-80 BASIC
does not support.
Actually there was an offical BASIC (meaning sold by Tandy/Radio
Shack) for one family of TRS-80 machines that did support multi-line
(named) procedures.
Not strictly functons as there was no return value but as you can pass
parameters by reference you can return values that way.
And line numbers were optional.
It's Microware's BASIC-09 under OS-9 on the CoCo of course. Quite the
finest 8-bit BASIC that I have ever used.
