Very nice presentation Josip. For me the fascinating thing was functions part. Really reminded me of 1985 - in SinclairSuperBasic (QL) - is the handling of functions and procedures in a totally structured programming listing. Ever since, i believed that it was somehow based on BBC basic which introduced earlier and it was the greatest back then for a long period of time without any competition. Uncle Clive had BBC Basic embedded in his wonderful business laptop (Z88 in 1987).
