Well, a "hello world" "programme" in BASIC only takes 1 line of
code!! :)
Not on my oldest BASIC machine. It is 2 lines :
10 DISP "HELLO WORLD"
20 END
The END is required, you get an error message if it's not there. I am
sure from the somewhat non-standed BASIC (DISP rather than PRINT) you
can
work out what machine it is.

The ultimate redundant statement: "non-standard BASIC". Yes, yes, I know
there's an ANSI standard - but from what I've seen, it gets less respect than
either Rodney Dangerfield or George W. Bush. -- Ian
