This is available electronically on the PRM CDs from RISC OS Ltd. For hard copies, be aware there were at least two different editions. I have a 1988 editionentitled BBC Basic Guide. The irritating feature about this is that the main keyword reference section is divided into chunks for different purposes, such as "program statements", "variables", etc. This means it's less than convenient for a quick lookup of a keyword when you already know what you are looking for. The version on the PRM CD seems to be from 1992 and covers up to BASIC V and VI version 1.05. It has the keywords in alphabetic order. -- Matthew Phillips Durham
