I don't get Compute like Jeff, so I don't know if those articles he mentioned
covered this or not, but there are all sorts of things you can do with the
c64 Basic internally that the screen editor won't let you do.  Besides having
lines > 80 characters, you can do neat things like "hide" machine language in
Basic, i.e., when you LOAD"PROGRAM",8 that single file can contain both Basic
and 6510 code.  Of course, this requires knowledge of how Basic lines are
stored internally, a subject I've been considering writing about in
net.micro.cbm in a few weeks (I'm a bit busy at the moment).
