ZBasic looks promising too, all the docs are available in pdf and
there's versions for 64K and 128K. I think I found it at Ground, though
I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, it seems quite a bit more capable than
Applesoft -- though I've only been mucking around for a few days, so
that's a qualified endorsement at best ;-)
