The syntax is
wierd
but that's the way DEC did it in all of their
operating systems, which
CP/M
is based on. (Actually, they use the underscore which
according to the
pre-1968 (?) version of ASCII looked like a leftward-pointing arrow.)
PET has a left arrow for that code as well. Sensible, since underscore is
available elswhere in the character set (shift-$ IIRC) but I never knew it
used to be standard ASCII. What other changes have there been? Is there
any precedent for PET using up-arrow instead of circumflex?
