I did not recall the precise amount, but those sound like the terms I remember.
The only two keywords added in BASIC 2.0 as far as I
know are the pi symbol
and the GO keyword, and I have no idea what GO does, if indeed anything at
all.
It allows GO TO vs GOTO (TO is already a tokenized keyword for FOR statements)
