Ok, now we're cooking. I loaded up EDUSYSTEM 4K BASIC on my 8/E this evening. The paper tape was part number DEC-08-ED10A-A-PB and it ran just fine. When it starts it askes which functions to retain (sort of like Focal does) and then gives you the READY prompt. My standard test of a FOR next loop with a PRINT statement in the middle ran just fine. However, I've got _no_ documentation on this version of BASIC. So if anyone has docs for this version of BASIC please let me know, thanks! --Chuck
