I have another Applesoft programing environment I've been tinkering with. It's
not complete, but what program is? It runs under P8 and is loosely based upon
the RDOS program. It requires a 128k Apple and 80 columns though, and
documentation is scarce. This program was kind of hacked together to implement
some things I wanted in Applesoft.

The benefits: More program and variable space. Uses Beagle Brothers Extra K to
store variables in aux memory. Allows the use of Beagle's Program Writer (the
small one). All Prodos calls are accessed via the &: (ex: & = LIST to catalog).
Uses tokens to reduce code size. Does NOT do the constant character scanning
performed by P8 and Dos 3.3. So you get a faster program. Easily load programs
at any available address. Chain programs just by running the next basic file.
All variables are intact! Built in commands for MouseText, cursor control,
simple window text screen backup.

I put this thing on hold for awhile, but I'm thinking about working on it
again. If you want a copy, email Bluphoenyx@aol.com and I can send a shrinkit
archive via email attachment.
