The file related commands are more like QBASIC than anything else; they are
definitely not the CTRL-D patches to a shell you find in Applesoft.

Gosh, if I was in a marketing class they would have flunked me. :)

The full version of GSoft BASIC sells for $60. You can also get a companion
course, "Learn to Program in GSoft BASIC," for $50. The pair is available in
a bundle for $100.

You can find details, including technical information sheets, a free
download of a slightly scaled down version of GSoft BASIC, and ordering and
support information, at our web site, http:www.hypermall.com/byteworks.
