in reply to println

I miss being able to just type '?' and have it expand to 'print'. Oops. That's really showing where I learnt to program. :)

    Heh, nostalgia...

    Can't say I really miss it, but pressing P on the ZX81 for PRINT was not only handy, but the only way of typing statements :)

    Less handy was the inability to save my programs on the tape recorder :)

    I miss that too! What I don't miss, however is editing program lines "live" on the command line, as it where... where all lines starting with a number was interpreted as part of your (only possible) program... you did LIST on the program and went up and down though "history" resubmitting lines to make changes... ;-)
