Re: 32800

That's a cool one James... Haven't seen it before. This one is not really a basic trick, but it's cool: SYS 52651! It's the old OS easter egg with the progammers' names.

Re: I'm looking for a list of tricks for BASIC programming,

Here's an interesting thing to try on your Plus/4: SYS32800,123,45,6 and press Return.

I know.... everyone says this is for the 128. But on the Plus/4 (and I would presume the C16 too) this outputs a list of all cartirdges attached to the system and their F-key assignments, just as if you had turned the machine on. One problem though, it returns the system back to the READY prompt.

It could be used in a program to 'sense' what cartridges are attached.... clear the screen, SYS, then PEEK the first two rows of memory and build your own menu. This could be handy, as I have one system with SpeedScript instead of 3+1.
