	If one trusts Wikipedia -- there are two: "minimal BASIC" and "full
BASIC"... I don't intend to fork over the money to get a copy though.
Though they haven't been updated in some time: minimal is 1978, and full is
1987. Believe they are based on K&K/Dartmouth BASIC. Probably require line
numbers and have no graphics.
