[NTLK] How to learn NSBasic

[PMichael Rodgers]

I think you summed it up better than I could.  Most of the old Basic 
books I have use the CHR$ and many Peeks and Pokes.

The major two differences between NS BASIC and other BASICs are that NS BASIC uses square brackets instead of parantheses for array subscripts - A[65] instead of A(65) - and it doesn't use the the $ sign for string variables and functions - CHR(65) instead of CHR$(65). Then of course file handling is completely different since Newton OS uses soups. PEEKs and POKEs also do not work. And the ^ operator seems to be missing. You may also have difficulties porting programs written for Microsoft BASIC that use boolean logic.
