Microworld BASIC reference

This chapter provides a quick reference summary of all the commands and functions that are available to the user. The idea here is that the chapter does NOT provide a detailed explanation of any of the commands, since this has been provided in the Tutorial section that forms the bulk of this manual. If you find any problems in understanding what a particular command does, refer to the relevant tutorial section.
