<h2 id="reference">Language reference</h2>

<p>
    This documentation describes the PC-BASIC language, which aims to faithfully emulate
    GW-BASIC 3.23, IBM Advanced BASIC, IBM Cartridge BASIC and Tandy 1000 GW-BASIC.
</p>
<p>
    Differences with the original languages do arise, and where this is the case they are documented.
</p>
<p>
    Please note that Microsoft's official documentation for the original languages is rather hit-and-miss;
    it leaves several features undocumented and incorrectly describes others. To avoid making the same errors,
    the present documentation was written from scratch with reference to the actual behaviour.
    The errors in this document are therefore all my own. Please contact me if you encounter them.

        A <dfn>program line</dfn> consists of a line number followed by a compound statement.
        Program lines are terminated by a
        <code><i>CR</i></code> or
        or by the end of the file (optionally through an <code><i>EOF</i></code> character).
        Anything on a program line after a <code><i>NUL</i></code> character is ignored.
    </p>
    <p>
        A <dfn>line number</dfn> is a whole number in the range <code>[0&#8212;65535]</code>.
        Note that the line numbers <code>65530&#8212;65535</code> cannot be entered
        from the console or a text program file, but can be part of a tokenised program file.
    </p>
    <p>
        A <dfn>compound statement</dfn> consists of <a href="#statements">statements</a> separated by colons:
        <code class="flow"><var>statement</var> [<b>:</b> <var>statement</var>] ...</code>
    </p>
    <p>

    <h3 id="literals">Literals</h3>

    <h5>String literals</h5>
    <p>
        String literals are of the following form:
        <code class="flow"><b>"</b>[<var>characters</var>]{<b><i>NUL</i></b>|<b><i>CR</i></b>|<b><i>EOF</i></b>|<b>"</b>}</code>
        where <code><var>characters</var></code> is a string of characters. Any
        character from the current code page can be used, with the following
        exceptions, all of which terminate the string literal (aside from other effects they may have):
    </p>
    <ul>
        <li><code><i>NUL</i></code> (<code>CHR$(&amp;h00)</code>)</li>
        <li><code><i>CR</i></code> (<code>CHR$(&amp;h0D)</code>)</li>
        <li><code><i>EOF</i></code> (<code>CHR$(&amp;h1A)</code>)</li>
        <li><code>"</code> (<code>CHR$(&amp;h22)</code>)</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
        Strings are also legally terminated by the end of the file in the absence of
        an <code><i>EOF</i></code> character.
    </p>
    <p>
        Apart from these, string literals should not contain any of the characters
        in the ASCII range <code>&amp;h0D</code>&mdash;<code>&amp;h1F</code>, which lead to unpredictable results.
        There is no escaping mechanism. To include one of the above
        characters in a string, use <a href="#string-operators">string concatenation</a> and
        the <code><a href="#CHR$">CHR$</a></code> function.
    </p>

    <h5>Numeric literals</h5>
    <p>
        Numeric literals have one of the following forms:
        <code class="flow">[<b>+</b>|<b>-</b>] [<b>0</b>|<b>1</b>|<b>2</b>|<b>3</b>|<b>4</b>|<b>5</b>|<b>6</b>|<b>7</b>|<b>8</b>|<b>9</b>]...
            [<b>.</b>][<b>0</b>|<b>1</b>|<b>2</b>|<b>3</b>|<b>4</b>|<b>5</b>|<b>6</b>|<b>7</b>|<b>8</b>|<b>9</b>]...
            [{<b>E</b>|<b>e</b>|<b>D</b>|<b>d</b>}[<b>+</b>|<b>-</b>][<b>0</b>|<b>1</b>|<b>2</b>|<b>3</b>|<b>4</b>|<b>5</b>|<b>6</b>|<b>7</b>|<b>8</b>|<b>9</b>]...]
            |<b>#</b>|<b>!</b>|<b>%</b>]</code>
        <code class="flow"><b>&amp;</b>{<b>H</b>|<b>h</b>}[<b>0</b>|<b>1</b>|<b>2</b>|<b>3</b>|<b>4</b>|<b>5</b>|<b>6</b>|<b>7</b>|<b>8</b>|<b>9</b>|<b>A</b>|<b>B</b>|<b>C</b>|<b>D</b>|<b>E</b>|<b>F</b>|<b>a</b>|<b>b</b>|<b>c</b>|<b>d</b>|<b>e</b>|<b>f</b>]...</code>
        <code class="flow"><b>&amp;</b>[<b>O</b>|<b>o</b>] [<b>0</b>|<b>1</b>|<b>2</b>|<b>3</b>|<b>4</b>|<b>5</b>|<b>6</b>|<b>7</b>]...</code>
    </p>
    <p>
        Hexadecimal literals must not contain spaces, but decimal and octal literals may. The <code>o</code> character in octal literals is optional: they can be
        specified equally as <code>&amp;o777</code> or <code>&amp;777</code>.
    </p>
    <p>
        Hexadecimal and octal literals denote integers and do not include a sign. They must range between
        [<code>&amp;h0</code>&mdash;<code>&amp;hFFFF</code>],
        of which the range [<code>&amp;h8000</code>&mdash;<code>&amp;hFFFF</code>]
        is interpreted as a two's complement negative integer; for example, <code>&amp;hFFFF = -1</code>.
        Signs can appear left of the <code>&amp;</code>
        but these form an expression and are not part of the literal itself.
    </p>
    <p>
        Floating-point literals must be specified in decimal notation. The decimal separator is the point.
        A base-10 exponent may be specified after <code>E</code> in single-precision floats, or after <code>D</code> in double-precision floats.
        Trailing <code>%</code> is ignored and does <em>not</em> indicate an integer literal.
        Trailing <code>!</code> or <code>#</code> mark the literal as single- or double-precision, respectively.
    <p>
        Examples of valid numeric literals are
        <code>-1</code> <code>42</code> <code>42!</code> <code>42#</code>
        <code>1.3523523</code> <code>.235435</code> <code>-.3</code> <code>3.</code>
        <code>.</code> <code>.e</code> <code>.D</code> <code>1.1e+7</code>
        <code>1.1d+7</code> <code>1e2</code> <code>1e-2</code> <code>&amp;7</code>
        <code>&amp;hffff</code> <code>&amp;O20</code> <code>&amp;h</code> <code>&amp;</code> <code>65537%</code> <code>1.1%</code>
    </p>
    <p>
        Note that expressions such as <code>&amp;o-77</code> are legal; these are however <em>not</em>
        negative octals but rather the expression <code>&amp;o</code> (empty octal; zero) less <code>77</code> (decimal 77).
    </p>

    <h3 id="variables">Variables</h3>

    <p>

    </p>
    <p>
        Variable names must start with a letter; all characters of the variable name
        (except the <a href="#typechars">sigil</a>) must be letters <code>A&#8212;Z</code>, figures <code>0&#8212;9</code>, or a dot <code>.</code>
        Only the first 40 characters in the name are significant. A variable name must
        not be identical to a <a href="#reserved-words">reserved word</a> or a reserved word plus sigil.
        Therefore, for example, you cannot name a variable <code>TO!</code> but you can
        name it <code>AS!</code>. Variable names may <em>contain</em> any reserved word.
        Variable names may also start with a reserved word, with the exception of <code><a href="#USR">USR</a></code> and
        <code><a href="#FN">FN</a></code>. Thus, <code>FNORD%</code> and <code>USRNME$</code>
        are not legal variable names while <code>FRECKLE%</code> and <code>LUSR$</code> are.
    </p>
    <p>
        For each name, four different
        variables may exist corresponding to the four types. That is, you can have <code>A$</code>,
        <code>A%</code>, <code>A!</code> and <code>A#</code> as different variables.
        Which one of those is also known as <code>A</code> depends on the settings in
        <code><a href="#DEFINT">DEFINT</a></code>/<code>DEFDBL</code>/<code>DEFSNG</code>/<code>DEFSTR</code>.
        By default, <code>A</code> equals the single-precision <code>A!</code>.
    </p>
    <p>
        Furthermore, the
        <a href="#arrays">arrays</a> <code>A$()</code>, <code>A%()</code>,
        <code>A!()</code>, <code>A#()</code> are separate from the scalar
        variables of the same name.
    </p>
    <h4 id="typechars">Types and sigils</h4>
    <p>
        PC-BASIC recognises four variable types, distinguished by their <dfn>sigil</dfn>
        or <dfn>type character</dfn>, the last character of the variable's full name:
    </p>
    <div class="scrollable">
        <table>
            <tr>
                <th>sigil</th>
                <th>type</th>
                <th>size</th>
                <th>range</th>
                <th>precision</th>
            </tr><tr>
                <td><code>$</code></td>
                <td>string</td>
                <td>3 bytes plus allocated string space</td>
                <td>0&mdash;255 characters</td>
                <td></td>
            </tr><tr>

                <td>-32768&#8212;32767</td>
                <td>exact</td>
            </tr><tr>
                <td><code>!</code></td>
                <td>single-precision float</td>
                <td>4 bytes</td>
                <td>&plusmn;2.938726&middot;10<sup>-39</sup>&mdash;&plusmn;1.701412&middot;10<sup>38</sup></td>
                <td>~6 significant figures</td>
            </tr><tr>
                <td><code>#</code></td>
                <td>double-precision float</td>
                <td>8 bytes</td>
                <td>&plusmn;2.938735877055719&middot;10<sup>-39</sup>&mdash;&plusmn;1.701411834604692&middot;10<sup>38</sup></td>
                <td>~16 significant figures</td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    <p>
        Note that double-precision floats can hold more decimals than single-precision floats, but not larger or smaller numbers.
    </p>
    <p>
        While all integers are signed, some statements will interpret negative
        integers as their two's complement.
    </p>

    <h4 id="arrays">Arrays</h4>
    <p>
        Arrays are indexed with round or square
        brackets; even mixing brackets is allowed. The following are all legal array elements: <code>A[0]</code>, <code>A(0)</code>,
        <code>A(0]</code>, <code>A[0)</code>. Multidimensional arrays are specified by separating the indices with commas: <code>A(0, 0)</code>, <code>A[0, 0, 0]</code>, etc.
    </p>
    <p>
        By default, arrays are indexed from <code>0</code>. This can be changed to
        <code>1</code> using <code><a href="#OPTION-BASE">OPTION BASE</a> 1</code>.
    </p>
    <p>
        Arrays can be allocated by specifying the largest allowed index using
        <code><a href="#DIM">DIM</a></code>. If all indices of the array
        are <code>10</code> or less, they need not be explicitly allocated. The first
        access of the array (read or write) will automatically allocate it with
        a maximum index of <code>10</code> and the same number of indices as in the first
        access. To re-allocate an array, the old array must first be deleted
        with <code><a href="#CLEAR">CLEAR</a></code> or
        <code><a href="#ERASE">ERASE</a></code>.
    </p>
    <p>
        Multi-dimensional arrays are stored in column-major order, such that <code>A%(2,0)</code> immediately
        follows <code>A%(1,0)</code>.
    </p>

    <h4 id="conversions">Conversions</h4>
    <p>
        PC-BASIC will implicitly convert between the three numerical data types. When a value of
        one type is assigned to a variable, array element or parameter of another
        type, it is converted according to the following rules:
    </p>
    <ul>
        <li>
            Single- and double-precision floats are converted to integer by rounding
            to the nearest whole number. Halves are rounded away from zero. If the resulting whole
            number is outside the allowed range for integers, <samp>Overflow</samp> is raised.
        </li>
        <li>
            Double-precision floats are converted to single-precision floats by
            Gaussian rounding of the mantissa, where the new least significant bit of the
            mantissa is rounded up if the clipped-off binary fraction is greater than one-half; halves
            are rounded to even.
        </li>
        <li>
            Integers are converted to their exact representation as single-
            or double-precision floats.
        </li>
        <li>
            Single-precision floats are converted to their exact representation as
            double-precision floats.
        </li>
        <li>
            There is no implicit conversion between strings and any of the numeric types.
            Attempting to assign a string value to a numeric variable, array element or parameter
            (or vice versa) will raise <samp>Type mismatch</samp>.
    </ul>

    <h3 id="operators">Operators</h3>

    <h4 id="order-of-preference">Order of precedence</h4>
    <p>
        The order of precedence of operators is as follows, from tightly bound
        (high precedence) to loosely bound (low precedence):
    </p>
    <ol>
        <li value="12"><code>^</code></li>
        <li value="11"><ul class="horizontal">
            <li><code>*</code></li>
            <li><code>/</code></li>
        </li>
        <li value="10"><code>\</code></li>
        <li value="9"><code>MOD</code></li>
        <li value="8">
            <ul class="horizontal">
                <li><code>+</code></li>
                <li><code>-</code> (unary and binary)</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li value="7">
            <ul class="horizontal">
                <li><code>=</code></li>
                <li><code>&lt;&gt;</code></li>
                <li><code>&gt;&lt;</code></li>
                <li><code>&lt;</code></li>
                <li><code>&gt;</code></li>
                <li><code>&lt;=</code></li>
                <li><code>=&lt;</code></li>
                <li><code>&gt;=</code></li>
                <li><code>=&gt;</code></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li value="6"><code>NOT</code> (unary)</li>
        <li value="5"><code>AND</code></li>
        <li value="4"><code>OR</code></li>
        <li value="3"><code>XOR</code></li>
        <li value="2"><code>EQV</code></li>
        <li value="1"><code>IMP</code></li>
    </ol>
    <p>
        Expressions within parentheses <code>()</code> are evaluated first.
        All binary operators are left-associative: operators of equal precedence are evaluated left to right.
    </p>
    <h5>Examples</h5>
    <ul>
        <li>
            Exponentiation is more tightly bound than negation:
            <code>-1^2 = -(1^2) = -1</code> but <code>(-1)^2 = 1</code>.
        </li>
        <li>
            Exponentiation is left-associative:
            <code>2^3^4 = (2^3)^4 = 4096</code>.
        </li>
    </ul>
    <h5>Errors</h5>
    <ul>
        <li>
            If any operator other than <code>+</code>, <code>-</code> or <code>NOT</code> is used without a
            left operand, <samp>Syntax error</samp> is raised.
        </li>
        <li>
            At the end of a statement, if any operator is used without a right operand, <samp>Missing operand</samp> is
            raised. If this occurs elsewhere inside a statement, such as within brackets, <samp>Syntax error</samp> is raised.
        </li>
    </ul>

    <h4 id="math-operators">Mathematical operators</h4>
    <p>
        Mathematical operators operate on numeric expressions only.
        Note however that <code>+</code> can take the role of the
        <a href="#string-operators">string concatenation operator</a> if both
        operands are strings.

        <li>
            Where necessary, the result of the operation will be upgraded to a data type
            able to hold the result. For example, dividing integers 3 by 2 will yield a
            single-precision 1.5.
        </li>
        <li>
            However, the exponentiation operator <code>^</code>

        <li>
            The expression <code>0^0</code> will return <code>1</code> and not raise an error,

        </li>
        <li>

        <li>
            If the result of any operation is too large to fit in a floating-point data type, <samp>Overflow</samp> is raised.

        When operating on numeric operands, both operands are compared as floating-point
        numbers according to the usual ordering of numbers. The equals operator tests
        for equality to within machine precision for the highest-precision of the two
        operator types.
    </p>
    <p>
        When comparing strings, the ordering is as follows.
    </p>
    <ul>
        <li>
            Two strings are equal only if they are of the same length and every character
            code of the first string agrees with the corresponding character code of the
            second. This includes any whitespace or unprintable characters.
        </li>
        <li>
            Each character position of the strings is compared starting with the leftmost character.
            When a pair of different characters is encountered, the string
            with the character of lesser <a href="#cp437">code point</a> is less than the string
            with the character of greater code point.
        </li>
        <li>
            If the strings are of different length, but equal up to the length of the
            shorter string, then the shorter string is less than the longer string.

    <h3 id="functions">Functions</h3>
    <p>
        <dfn>Functions</dfn> can only be used as part of an expression within a statement; they may take input values
        between parentheses and produce a return value. For example,
        in <code>PRINT ABS(-1)</code> the <code>ABS</code> function is used in an expression within a
        <code>PRINT</code> statement; in <code>Y = SQR(X) + 2</code> the <code>SQR</code> function
        is used in an expression within a <code>LET</code> statement.
    </p>
    <p>
        Some reference works also use terms such as <dfn>system variable</dfn> for functions that do not take
        an input, presumably since in the GW-BASIC syntax such functions have no parentheses, in contrast to
        the languages in the C family (and indeed some modern BASICs).
        However, this is simply the GW-BASIC syntax for functions without inputs.
        For example, one can do <code>DEF FNA=1: PRINT FNA</code>
        in which no parentheses are allowed.

        <ul>
            <li>
                Unless PC-BASIC is run with the <code><a href="#--double">double</a></code> option, this function returns a single-precision
                value.

                There are at most 32 notes in the music queue. However, unless the articulation is
                set to legato, there are short gaps between each note; these are counted as
                separate notes in the queue. Effectively, the queue length is thus 16 for the default
                and staccato articulations and 32 for legato.

        </code>
        <p>
            Returns a pseudorandom number in the interval <code>[0&#8212;1)</code>.
        </p>
        <h5>Parameters</h5>
        <p>
            <code><var>x</var></code> is a numeric expression.
        </p>
        <ul>
            <li>
                If <code><var>x</var></code> is zero, <code>RND</code> repeats the last
                pseudo-random number.
            </li>
            <li>
                If <code><var>x</var></code> is greater than zero, a new pseudorandom number is
                returned.
            </li>
            <li>
                If <code><var>x</var></code> is negative, <code><var>x</var></code> is converted to a single-precision floating-point value
                and the random number seed is set to the absolute value of its mantissa.
                The function then generates a new pseudorandom numer with this seed.
                Since the only the mantissa of <code><var>x</var></code> is used, any two values whose ratio is a
                power of 2 will produce the same seed.
                Note that this procedure for generating a new seed differs from that used by <code><a href="#RANDOMIZE">RANDOMIZE</a></code>.
            </li>
        </ul>
        <h5>Notes</h5>
        <ul>
            <li>
                PC-BASIC's <code>RND</code> function generates pseudo-random numbers through a linear congruential generator with modulo 2<sup>24</sup>,
                multiplier 214013 and increment 2531011. This exactly reproduces the random numbers of GW-BASIC's <code>RND</code>.
            </li>
            <li>It should be
                noted, however, that this is a very poor random number generator: its parameters imply a recurrence period of
                2<sup>24</sup>, meaning that after less than 17 million calls <code>RND</code> will wrap around
                and start running through the exact same series of numbers all over again. <code>RND</code> should not be used for
                cryptography, scientific simulations or anything else remotely serious.

                In GW-BASIC, the <code>SCREEN</code> function has anomalous error behaviour:

            Parsing stops as soon as the first character is encountered that cannot be

                This is not the case with <code>CHR$(30)</code> (record separator).

    <h3 id="statements">Statements</h3>
    <p>
        A program line is composed of a line number and one or more <dfn>statements</dfn>. If multiple statements
        are put on one line, they must be separated by colons <code>:</code>. Statements may be empty.
        Each statement has its own idiosyncratic syntax.
    </p>
    <p>
        Many reference works on GW-BASIC distinguish <dfn>commands</dfn> and statements; this distinction stems
        from the original Dartmouth design of the BASIC language, in which commands were not part of the
        language and could not be used in programs, but were rather used to control the
        interpreter itself. However, in GW-BASIC this distinction is less useful and therefore this reference
        includes what is traditionally thought of as commands in the category of statements.

        </code>
        <p>
            Start automatic line numbering. Line numbers
            are automatically generated when <kbd>Enter</kbd> is pressed.
            If a program line exists at a generated line number, a <code>*</code> is shown after the
            line number. To avoid overwriting this line, leave it empty and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>.
            To stop automatic line numbering, press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Break</kbd> or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd>. The line being edited at
            that point is not saved.
            Also stops program execution and returns control to the user. Any further statements on the line will be ignored, also in direct mode.

        <ul>
            <li>
                Line numbering starts at <code><var>line_number</var></code>, if specified. If <code>.</code> is specified, line
                numbering starts at the last program line that was stored. Otherwise, line
                numbering starts at <code>10</code>.
            </li>
            <li>
                Each next line number is incremented by <code><var>increment</var></code>, if specified. If a comma
                is used without specifying an increment, the last increment specified in an
                <code>AUTO</code> command is used. If not, <code><var>increment</var></code> defaults to <code>10</code>.
            </li>
        </ul>
        <h5>Errors</h5>
        <ul>
            <li>

            <li>
                <code><var>palette_0</var></code> is a numeric expression in <code>[0&#8212;15]</code>
                This sets the colour associated with attribute 0; by default, the
                background has this attribute. All pixels with this attribute will
                change colour.
                In <code>SCREEN 7</code> and <code>8</code>, the <code><var>palette_0</var></code> colour is taken from the first 8 of
                the 16-colour EGA set. <code><var>palette_0</var></code> is taken <code>MOD 8</code>.
                IN <code>SCREEN 9</code>, the colour value is taken from the <a href="#ega-colours">64-colour set</a>.
            </li>
            <li>
                <code><var>dummy</var></code> is a numeric expression with a value in <code>[0&#8212;255]</code>
                The value of <code><var>dummy</var></code> is ignored.

            <li>
                <code>COMMON</code> statements are not executed during run time; rather, when a <code>CHAIN</code> command is encountered where <code>ALL</code> is not specified,
                all <code>COMMON</code> declarations in the program are parsed. As a consequence, the <code>DEFSTR</code>, <code>DEFINT</code>, <code>DEFSNG</code> or <code>DEFDBL</code> settings
                used are those that are active at the time of execution of the <code>CHAIN</code> statement.
            </li>
            <li>
                <code>COMMON</code> declarations need not be reachable in the program flow in order to be used.
                They may occur anywhere before or after the <code>CHAIN</code> statement that uses them.
            </li>
            <li>
                Variables may be repeated or occur in multiple <code>COMMON</code> declarations.
            </li>
            <li>
                If the <code>COMMON</code> keyword is not the first element of the statement, the
                declaration will be ignored. In particular, any <code>COMMON</code> declaration that occurs
                directly after a <code>THEN</code> or <code>ELSE</code> keyword will not be used. <code>COMMON</code>
                in the second or later statements of a compound statement after <code>THEN</code> or <code>ELSE</code>
                will be used regardless of the value of the <code>IF</code> condition.

        <h5>Notes</h5>
        <ul>
            <li>
                Anything after the <code>CONT</code> keyword is ignored.
            </li>

                This statement can only be used in direct mode.
            </li>
            <li>
                If a break is encountered in <code><a href="#GOSUB">GOSUB</a></code> routine called from a continuing
                direct line (e.g. <code>GOSUB 100:PRINT A$</code>), <code>CONT</code> will overwrite the running
                direct line. As the subroutine <code><a href="#RETURN">RETURN</a></code>s to the position after the <code>GOSUB</code> in
                the old direct line, strange things may happen if commands are given after
                <code>CONT</code>. In GW-BASIC, this can lead to strange errors in non-existing
                program lines as the parser executes bytes that are not part of a program
                line. In PC-BASIC, if the new direct line is shorter, execution stops
                after <code>RETURN</code>; but if the direct line is extended beyond the old return
                position, the parser tries to resume at that return position, with strange
                effects.

                The system date is not actually changed; rather, PC-BASIC remembers the

                to change the system time.

            <li>
                GW-BASIC appears to accept invalid dates such as <code>"02-31-2000"</code>. PC-BASIC

        <p>
            Allocates memory for one or more arrays.
            The <code>DIM</code> statement also fixes the number of indices of the array.

            A <code>DIM</code> entry with no brackets and no indices performs no operation. Empty brackets are not allowed.

            length is 128 bytes. The <code><a href="#FIELD">FIELD</a></code> statement assigns a portion of this region to
            one or more fixed-length string variables, so that the value of these strings
            is whatever happens to be in the record buffer at that location.

        <h4 id="GET-graphics"><code>GET</code> (graphics)</h4>
        <code class="flow">
            <b>GET (</b><var>x0</var><b>,</b> <var>y0</var><b>) -</b> [<b>STEP</b>] <b>(</b><var>x1</var><b>,</b> <var>y1</var><b>),</b> <var>array_name</var>
        </code>
        <p>
            Stores a rectangular area of the graphics screen in an array.
            The area stored is a rectangle parallel to the screen edges, bounded by the
            top-left and bottom-right coordinates <code><var>x0</var></code>,<code><var>y0</var></code> and <code><var>x1</var></code>,<code><var>y1</var></code>. If <code>STEP</code> is
            specified, <code><var>x1</var></code>,<code><var>y1</var></code> is an offset from <code><var>x0</var></code>,<code><var>y0</var></code>. The area is such that these
            corner points are inside it.
        </p>
        <p>
            The image stored in the array can then be put on the screen using PUT. For the
            purposes of <code>GET</code>, any array is considered a string of bytes. The byte size of an
            array can be calculated as <code><var>number_elements</var> * <var>byte_size</var></code> with <code><var>byte_size</var></code> equal to
            <code>2</code> for integers (<code>%</code>), 4 for single (<code>!</code>) and 8 for double (<code>#</code>).
            Array byte size for
            string is 3, but string arrays are not allowed in <code>GET</code>. For calculating the
            number of elements, keep in mind that <code><a href="#OPTION-BASE">OPTION BASE</a> 0</code> is the default; in which
            case an array with maximum index 10 has 11 elements. This works through in
            multidimensional arrays.
        </p>
        <p>
            The array format is as follows:
        </p>
        <div class="scrollable">
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <th>Byte</th>
                    <th>Contains</th>
                </tr><tr>
                    <td>0, 1</td>
                    <td>Number of x pixels, unsigned int. In <code>SCREEN 1</code>, this value is doubled.</td>
                </tr><tr>
                    <td>2, 3</td>
                    <td>Number of y pixels, unsigned int.</td>
                </tr><tr>
                    <td>4&#8212;</td>
                    <td>
                        Pixel data. Data is arranged in 2-byte words. The first 16-bit word holds the bit 0 of
                        the first 16 pixels on the top row. The second word holds the second bit,
                        etc. Data is word-aligned at the end of each row. Thus, in a screen mode
                        with 4 bits per pixel, the first row takes at least 8 bytes (4 words), even
                        if it consists of only one pixel. The number of bits per pixel depends on
                        the <code><a href="#SCREEN-statement">SCREEN</a></code> mode.

        <ul>
            <li>
                <code><var>file_num</var></code> is the number of a file open in
                <code>INPUT</code> mode or a random-access file open in <code>RANDOM</code> mode.

        <p>
            Controls event trapping of the key with identifier <code><var>key_id</var></code>.
            Event trapping is switched <code>ON</code> or <code>OFF</code>. <code>STOP</code> suspends event trapping until
            a <code>KEY() ON</code> is executed. Up to one event can be triggered during
            suspension, provided that event handling was switched on prior to suspension.
            The event triggered during suspension is handled immediately after the next <code>KEY() ON</code>
            statement.
            Event trapping can only be active during execution of a program, it does not work in direct mode.

                In GW-BASIC strange things can

                memory access.

                The <em>extended</em> modifier <code>&amp;h80</code> refers to the additional keys
                that were introduced with the Model M 101-key keyboard in th earea between the main
                keyboard and the numerical keypad. These are the arrow keys,
                <kbd>Home</kbd>, <kbd>End</kbd>, <kbd>PgUp</kbd>, <kbd>PgDn</kbd>, <kbd>Ins</kbd>,
                <kbd>Del</kbd> as separate from the numerical keypad.
                PC-BASIC ignores this modifier; in a key definition, it does not make a difference
                whether or not it is set.

        <ul>
            <li>
                Be very careful with the use of wildcards in this statement: the DOS matching rules may
                not be the same as what is usual on your operating system, which could result in
                unexpected files being deleted.
            </li>
            <li>
                This statement may not delete hidden file and files that do not have short names
                which are legal DOS names. However, this behaviour is not guaranteed
                so you must not depend on it.

        <p>
            Draws a line or a box in graphics mode. If <code>B</code> is not specified, a line is drawn
            from <code>(<var>x0</var>, <var>y0</var>)</code> to <code>(<var>x1</var>, <var>y1</var>)</code>, endpoints inclusive.
            If <code>B</code> is specified, a
            rectangle is drawn with sides parallel to the screen and two opposing corners
            specified by <code>(<var>x0</var>, <var>y0</var>)</code> and <code>(<var>x1</var>, <var>y1</var>)</code>. If the starting point is not given,
            the current graphics position is used as a staring point.  If <code>STEP</code> is
            specified, <code>(<var>x0</var>, <var>y0</var>)</code> is an offset from the current position and <code>(<var>x1</var>, <var>y1</var>)</code> is an
            offset from <code>(<var>x0</var>, <var>y0</var>)</code>.
            <code>LINE</code> moves the current graphics position to the last given endpoint.

        <ul>
            <li>
                <code><var>attr</var></code> is a numeric expression in <code>[0&#8212;255]</code>, which
                specifies the colour attribute of the line. If it is not given, the current
                attribute is used.
            </li>
            <li>
                <code><var>pattern</var></code> is a numeric expression in <code>[-32768&#8212;32767]</code>.
                This is interpreted as a 16-bit binary pattern mask
                applied to consecutive pixels in the line: a 1 bit indicates a pixel
                plotted; a 0 bit indicates a pixel left untouched. The pattern starts at
                the most significant bit, which is applied to the topmost endpoint. If a

        </code>
        <p>
            Displays the prompt given in <code><var>prompt_literal</var></code> and reads user input from the
            keyboard, storing it into the variable <code><var>string_name</var></code>. All input is read until
            <kbd>Enter</kbd> is pressed; the first 255 characters are stored. If the <code>;</code> is given
            right after <code>LINE INPUT</code>, the <kbd>Enter</kbd> ending user input is not echoed to the
            screen.
        </p>
        <h5>Parameters</h5>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <code><var>prompt_literal</var></code> is a string literal. It makes no difference whether it is
                followed by a comma or a semicolon.
            </li>
            <li>
                <code><var>string_name</var></code> is a string variable or array element.
            </li>
        </ul>
        <h5>Notes</h5>
        <ul>
            <li>
                If user input is interrupted by <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Break</kbd>, <code>CONT</code> will re-execute the <code>LINE
                INPUT</code> statement.
            </li>
            <li>
                Unlike <code><a href="#INPUT">INPUT</a></code>, <code>LINE INPUT</code>
                does not end the prompt with <code>?</code>.

        <p>
            Positions the cursor at <code><var>row</var></code>, <code><var>col</var></code> on the screen and changes the cursor shape and visibility.
            <code><var>cursor_visible</var></code> may be 0 or 1. If <code><var>cursor_visible</var></code> is 0, it makes
            the cursor invisible; if it is 1, makes the cursor visible. This works only while a program is running.
             The cursor shape is adjusted

                In GW-BASIC, cursor shape is preserved after pressing <kbd>Ins</kbd> twice. The insert-mode cursor is different from the usual half-block.
                In PC-BASIC, insert mode resets the cursor shape to default.

        <h5>Notes</h5>
        <ul>
            <li>
                In GW-BASIC under MS-DOS, the <code>LOCK</code> command requires <code>SHARE.EXE</code> to be loaded.
                The maximum number of locks is specified in the MS-DOS <code>SHARE</code> command. If <code>SHARE</code> has
                not been activated or all locks are used, <code>LOCK</code> raises <samp>Permission denied</samp>.
                PC-BASIC behaves as if <code>SHARE</code> has been activated with unlimited locks.
            </li>
            <li>
                If <code><var>file_number</var></code> is open for <code>RANDOM</code>,
                <code><a href="#LOCK">LOCK</a></code> and <code><a href="#UNLOCK">UNLOCK</a></code>
                statements must match in terms of <code><var>record_0</var></code> and
                <code><var>record_1</var></code>. An non-matching <code>UNLOCK</code> will raise
                <samp>Permission denied</samp>.
            </li>
            <li>
                To check if another open file is the same file, PC-BASIC only looks at the base name
                of the file, i.e. its DOS name without directories. As a consequence, if a file <samp>"test.txt"</samp>
                is open and locked, an attempt to lock a file <samp>"dir\test.txt"</samp> will fail, even if these are
                different files. Conversely, if two file names are different but point to the same file in the
                file system (for example due to file system links), then these will be considered as different files by BASIC.

            <b>ON ERROR GOTO</b> {<var>line_number</var>|<b>0</b>}
        </code>
        <p>
            Turns error trapping on or off. When <code><var>line_number</var></code> is set, any error causes the error handling
            routine starting at that line number to be called; no message is printed and program execution is not stopped. The
            error handling routine is ended by a <code><a href="#RESUME">RESUME</a></code> statement.
            While in an error handling routine, events are paused and error trapping is
            disabled. After the <code>RESUME</code> statement, any triggered events are picked up in the following
            order: <code>KEY</code>, <code>TIMER</code>, <code>PLAY</code> - the order of the others is unknown.
            Unlike event trapping, error trapping remains active when no program is running.
            <code>ON ERROR GOTO 0</code> turns off error trapping.

        <p>
            In GW-BASIC under MS-DOS with <code>SHARE.EXE</code> active, these locks should be enforced
            across a network as well as inside a single BASIC process. Without
            <code>SHARED</code> and <code>LOCK</code>, the file is locked exclusively
            for use by the GW-BASIC process. By contrast, in PC-BASIC,
            the locks are only implemented internally. Whether other processes may access
            the file will depend on the host OS.
        </p>
        <p>
            To check if another open file is the same file, PC-BASIC only looks at the base name
            of the file, i.e. its DOS name without directories. As a consequence, if a file <samp>"test.txt"</samp>
            is open and locked, an attempt to lock a file <samp>"dir\test.txt"</samp> will fail, even if these are
            different files. Conversely, if two file names are different but point to the same file in the
            file system (for example due to file system links), then these will be considered as different files by BASIC.

            A <dfn>file specification</dfn> <code><var>file_spec</var></code>
            is a non-empty string expression of the form
            <code><b>"</b>[<var>device</var><b>:</b>]<var>parameters</var><b>"</b></code>,
            where <code><var>device</var></code> is a PC-BASIC <a href="#devices">device</a>
            and the form of the <code><var>parameters</var></code> is specific to
            the type of device. If <code><var>device</var></code> is omitted,
            the current device (one of the disk devices or <code>CAS1:</code>)
            is used.

                <p>
                    <code><var>parameters</var></code> must specify a valid file path of
                    the form <code>[<b>\</b>][<var>dirname</var><b>\</b>] ... <var>filename</var></code>.
                </p>
                <p>
                    PC-BASIC follows DOS file system conventions.
                    Directory names are separated with
                    backslashes <code>\</code> (even if the host OS separates paths with
                    forward slashes). File and directory names consist of a
                    8-character name and 3-character extension. Names are case insensitive.
                    Permissible characters for both filename and extension are the
                    printable ASCII characters in the range
                    <code>&amp;h20</code>&ndash;<code>&amp;h7E</code> excluding the characters
                    <code>" * + . , / : ; &lt; = &gt; ? \ [ ] |</code>.
                    Spaces are allowed but leading and trailing spaces are ignored.
                    The names <code>AUX</code>, <code>CON</code>, <code>PRN</code> and
                    <code>NUL</code> are reserved as device aliases and are not legal names
                    for files or directories on a disk device.
                </p>
                <p>
                    A path starting with a backslash is interpreted as an absolute path,
                    starting at the root of the specified disk device. Otherwise, the
                    path is interpreted as relative to the current directory on the
                    specified device. The special directory name
                    <code><b>..</b></code> refers to the parent directory of a preceding path, or the
                    parent directory of the current directory if no path is given.
                    The special directory name <code><b>.</b></code> refers to the same directory as
                    given by the preceding path, or the current directory if no preceding path is given.
                </p>

                    If the file name provided does not contain any dots, the <code><a href="#LOAD">LOAD</a></code>,
                    <code><a href="#SAVE">SAVE</a></code>,

                    <code><a href="#LIST">LIST</a></code> statements
                    append the default
                    extension <code>.BAS</code>. To refer
                    to a file name without an extension, the file specification should
                    end in a dot <code>.</code>. For other statements, appending a dot is allowed but not required.

                <h5>Compatibility notes</h5>
                <p>
                    Unlike PC-BASIC, some versions of MS-DOS
                    allow certain characters in the range
                    <code>&amp;h7F</code>&ndash;<code>&amp;hFF</code>. However, their
                    permissibility and interpretation depends on the console code page,
                    which may be different from the display code page that affects GW-BASIC.
                    Depending on its console code page, MS-DOS will replace accented
                    letters by their unaccented uppercase variant.
                    Some DOS implementations will remove spaces from filenames;
                    notably, this is the case on DOSBox.
                </p>
                <p>
                    In order to allow access to files whose name on the host system does
                    not conform to DOS standards while maintaining compatibility with GW-BASIC,
                    PC-BASIC will follow these steps to match DOS-style file names to host file names:
                </p>
                <ol>
                    <li>
                        Look for a file with the name as provided.
                        This can be a long file name which may contain non-permissible characters and which will be case sensitive if
                        your file system is.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        If such a file is not found, it will truncate the name
                        provided to all-uppercase 8.3 format and look for an exact match.
                        The truncated name consists of the first 8 characters before the first dot,
                        followed by the first three characters after the first dot.
                        If the resulting file name contains non-permissible characters, an error will be raised.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        Look for 8.3 names in mixed case which match the name
                        provided in a case-insensitive way. Such files are searched in lexicographic
                        order. File names longer than 8.3 will not be matched, unless their name is entered exactly.
                        On Windows, the name matched can be a short filename as well as a
                        long filename provided it is of 8.3 length &#8212; it may, for example, contain
                        spaces and thus not be a valid Windows short file name.
                    </li>
                </ol>
                <p>
                    If the file name provided ends in a single dot and contains no other dots,
                    PC-BASIC will first match the name as provided; if this is not found, it will match
                    the name as provided but without the single dot. The 8.3 format of such a file name will match
                    file names with and without the dot, in lexicographic order.
                </p>
                <p>
                    If no matching file is found for an output file name, a new file will be
                    created with an all-uppercase 8.3 file name.

                <code><var>parameters</var></code> can be a file name of up to eight characters.
                Cassette file names are case sensitive, have no path or extension,
                may be empty and do not need to be unique. They may contain any
                character in the range <code>&amp;h20</code>&ndash;<code>&amp;hFF</code>.

                <code><a href="#LOAD">LOAD</a></code>
                and <code><a href="#BLOAD">BLOAD</a></code> will print a message to the console
                for each file found while winding the tape. The message consists
                of the filename followed by a dot and the
                file type and concluded with a status message. The file type is one of
                the following:
                <dl class="compact">
                    <dt><samp>A</samp></dt>

                </dl>
                If the file does not match the file specification and required file type,
                the status is <samp>Skipped</samp>; if the file matches, the status is
                <samp>Found</samp>. When called from a program, these statements do
                not print messages to the console.
                If the <code><var>device</var></code> was specified explicitly,
                <code><var>parameters</var></code> may also be empty. In this case the

                The sequence needed to set the colour plane is:

                </code>
                The initial <code>OUT</code> statements currently have no effect in PC-BASIC.

        <h5>Parameters</h5>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <code><var>x</var></code>, <code><var>y</var></code> are numeric expressions in the range <code>[-32768&#8212;32767]</code>
                If <code>STEP</code> is specified, <code><var>x</var></code> <code><var>y</var></code> are offsets
                from the current position. If the seed point is outside the visible screen
                area, no flood fill is performed.
            </li>
            <li>
                <code><var>attrib</var></code> is an expression that specifies the fill attribute or pattern. If not
                specified, the current foreground attribute is used.
            </li>
            <li>
                If <code><var>attrib</var></code> has a number value, it must be in <code>[0&#8212;255]</code>; it specifies the colour
                attribute used to fill.
            </li>
            <li>
                If <code><var>attrib</var></code> has a string value, it specifies a tile pattern (see below).
            </li>
            <li>
                <code><var>border</var></code> is a numeric expression in <code>[0&#8212;255]</code>. It specifies the attribute
                of the fill boundary (see below).
            </li>
            <li>
                <code><var>background</var></code> is a string expression that represents a background tile
                pattern to ignore when determining boundaries (see below).
            </li>
        </ul>
        <h5>Tile patterns</h5>
        <p>
            A tile pattern can be specified by a string of up to 255 characters. The
            interpretation of the string depends on the number of bits per pixel and on
            the current screen mode.

                This diagonal stripe pattern can thus be produced with
                <code class="flow">
                    PAINT (0, 0), CHR$(128)+CHR$(64)+CHR$(32)+CHR$(16)+CHR$(8)+CHR$(4)+CHR$(2)

            </dt>
            <dd>
                The tile pattern is always 8 pixels wide. The first character in the
                pattern string contains the first bit of each of these 8 pixels, the
                second character contains the second bits, etc.
                For example, in a 2-bits-per-pixel mode, four colour attributes can be used in the pattern.
                To create a diagonal stripe pattern of the same shape, in attribute <code>&amp;h03</code>, we now need a tile
                string that is twice as long:

                Each row of the tile pattern represents a screen row. Colours are
                encoded in consecutive bits; the more bits per pixel, the narrower the
                pattern is. For 2 bits per pixel, the pattern is 4 pixels wide; for 4
                bits per pixel it is 2 pixels wide. The following pattern string encodes
                a diagonal dotted stripe in two colours:

        <p>
            The tile pattern is anchored to the screen; imagine a grid starting at
            <code>(0,0)</code> and covering the screen. Whenever an area is tile-filled,
            the tiles are put into this grid. In this way, adjacent areas will have
            continuous tiling even if they were filled from different seed points.
        </p>
        <h5>Boundaries</h5>
        <p>
            A solid flood fill stops at pixels that have the same attribute as the fill
            or that have the specified border attribute, if specified.
            A tiling flood fill stops at the specified border attribute; if no border
            attribute is specified, it stops at the current foreground attribute.
            A tiling flood fill also stops at scan line intervals that are the same as
            the tiling pattern for that line, unless a background pattern is specified
            and the interval also equals the background pattern for that line.</p>
        <p>
            The background tile pattern is constructed just like the tile pattern. However, only
            the first row of the background tile is taken into account; the rest is ignored.
            The background tile must not match the attribute tile, or more than two consecutive rows of it.
        </p>
        <h5>Errors</h5>
        <ul>
            <li>

        <ul>
            <li>
                <code><var>int_array_name</var></code> is a single- or multidimensional
                array of integers (<code>%</code>) that will supply the
                new values for the palette.
            </li>
            <li>
                <code><var>start_index</var></code> is a numeric expression that
                indicates at which index in the array to start mapping to the palette.

        <code class="flow"><b>PEN</b> {<b>ON</b>|<b>OFF</b>|<b>STOP</b>}</code>
        <p>
            Controls event trapping and read access of the light pen (emulated through the mouse in PC-BASIC).
            <code>PEN ON</code> switches pen reading and trapping on.  <code>PEN OFF</code> switches it off.
            <code>PEN STOP</code> suspends <code>PEN</code> event trapping until <code>PEN ON</code> is
            executed. Up to one event can be triggered during suspension, provided that
            event handling was switched on prior to suspension. The event triggered during
            suspension is handled immediately after the next <code>PEN ON</code> statement.

        <p>
            Seeds the random number generator with <code><var>expr</var></code>.
            If no seed is specified, <code>RANDOMIZE</code> will prompt the user
            to enter a random seed. The user-provided value is rounded to an integer.
            The random seed is formed of the last two bytes of that integer or <code><var>expr</var></code>.
            If <code><var>expr</var></code> is a float (4 or 8 bytes), these are
            <code><a href="#boolean-operators">XOR</a></code>ed with the preceding 2. The
            first 4 bytes of a double are ignored.
            The same random seed will lead to the same sequence of pseudorandom numbers

                Official GW-BASIC documentation and many other sources state that

                However, in reality GW-BASIC 3.23 also closes files on tape
                and any other device, making this statement identical to
                <code><a href="#CLOSE">CLOSE</a></code> with no arguments.
                PC-BASIC follows this behaviour.

            Produces a sound at <code><var>frequency</var></code> Hz for <code><var>duration</var>/18.2</code> seconds.
            On PCjr and Tandy, the volume and voice channel can additionally be specified.

            If <code>PLAY "MB"</code> has been executed, <code>SOUND</code> plays in the background. If <code>PLAY "MF"</code>
            has been executed, sound plays in the foreground and the interpreter blocks
            until the sound is finished. Foreground mode is default. Unlike <code><a href="#PLAY">PLAY</a></code>, the
            sound played by the most recent <code>SOUND</code> statement always plays in the background,
            even if <code>PLAY "MF"</code> has been entered. In background mode, each <code>SOUND</code> statement

            <li>

        <p>
            Defines a graphics viewport. Graphics drawn outside the viewport will
            not be shown. <code>(<var>x0</var>, <var>y0</var>)</code>, <code>(<var>x1</var>, <var>y1</var>)</code> are absolute screen coordinates of two
            opposing corners of the area.

            Unless <code>SCREEN</code> is specified, after a <code>VIEW</code> statement the coordinate
            system is shifted such that <code>(0, 0)</code> becomes the top left coordinate of the viewport.
            If <code>VIEW</code> is called without arguments, the viewport is reset to the whole
            screen.
