Palm Basic 1.0.2

Palm Basic 1.0.2 is a free utility allowing you to write programs on your Palm for your Palm. It is written for the Palm series of handheld devices.

The language is designed to be simple to use, yet sufficiently powerful to allow the construction of genuinely useful programs.

Major Features:

1. Palm Basic consists of a program management screen, similar to memo pad. This allows you to organize your programs by category.
2. You can edit and run your programs, or you can go into console mode. Console mode allows you to execute single lines of BASIC, or to run your programs by name.
3. Palm Basic supports integer, floating point, and string variables, as well as single and multi-dimensional arrays.
4. Palm Basic supports the common structures found in BASICs i.e. for - next loops, do - loop, if - else - then (either on a single line or over multiple lines), goto and gosub.
5. Palm Basic contains built-in procedures for formatted printing and inputing, basic graphic operations, as well as a full set of floating point math functions.

Enhancements:

• Bugs fixed:
• • Blinking cursor not appearing or appearing in wrong place when using input statement
  • Crash when using input statement on certain Handspring devices
  • Possible run time error caused by using goto to go forward passed an expression containing the keydown function
