True. Basic.System uses STORE and RESTORE while the cassette
operating system uses STORE and RECALL.
RESTORE is used by every Basic the world over to reset the DATA
pointer, so I'm not sure why the makers of Basic.System choose this
command for loading variables. RECALL really should have been less confusing.
The other Basic.System commands that look like Basic commands (FRE,
PR#, IN#) perform similar functions to the ones in Basic, but not RESTORE.
