to write and submit stories from the field.
So maybe it saw less use of the built-in BASIC than other machines of the day.
Many people used the BASIC and loved it.
But, there were other built-in "apps", and it was possible to use it
without using the BASIC.
So, some users used the BASIC, and some did not; those two groups
apparently didn't associate much with each other :-)
All of the Kyocera based machines (Model 100, NEC8201, and Olivetti M10)
had text editor, and telcom.

The Model 100 and the Olivetti M10 also had Address and scheduler
The model 100 had an optional Multiplan spreadsheet ROM, or you could
write yor own ROMS.
