Annexe 12 is far from perfect...
Seems all basic instructions after SPC are missing.

Page 315:
- "GO" is listed as a basic instruction code (value 247), but does not exist.
- CHAR is listed with decimal value 11, it's actually 176 (seems they inverted #B0 and #0B)
- TRON (132) and TROFF (133) are missing
-"!" is missing (192)

Page 316:
- MID$ basic token is listed having a decimal value of 146, which is wrong, actually it's 246.
146 is for INPUT
- UNTIL is missing, decimal value 140
- SQR is missing (222)
- STEP is missing (203)
- STOP is missinig (179)
- STR$ is missing (234)
- TAB is missing (194)
- TAN is missing (228)
- TO is missing (195)
- TEXT is missing (161)
- THEN is missing (201)
- TRUE is missing (239)
- USR is missing (217)
- VAL is missing (235)
- WAIT is missing (181)
- ZAP is missing, decimal value 165

Hello, very interesting :)

But... Ho yes, the "GO" instruction exists ! (this instruction is a prefix for "TO" and "SUB", no kidding :
"GO"+"TO"=GOTO
"GO"+"SUB"=GOSUB
in the 70's and 80's, very often some listing were written like this :

Code: Select all

10 GO TO 20
20...
for instance, have a look here :

:D

I think that "PLOT" is missing too anyway.

Page 143, command CHAR
The 2nd parameter is indicated as "normal or inverse printing", when it is actually standard or alternate character set.
