Are you suggesting that LIBRARY LOCAL was a feature devised specifically for Brandy, or that it was originally intended for ARM BASIC but abandoned or removed for some reason? Given that Brandy doesn't in general extend the language (apart from the longer strings) it seems somewhat strange to me that this one feature would have been added. If the intention had been to extend BBC BASIC, many other (arguably more valuable) additions could have been implemented at the same time. Richard. http://www.rtrussell.co.uk/
