I have somewhere MSX and SAM technical manuals downloaded from internet, which explains the system calls and architecture (I was planing my own compiler). Will check them...
BTW: removing DRAW and using DRAW() will break the 100% spectrum compatibility, so Sinclair Basic programs cannot be compiled anymore. Not that I think this is a bad idea... I also do not use line numbers (I hate them).
My idea is to keep DRAW and add a library LINE() or VECTOR() or DRAWTO(). Why to mimic their BASIC and not create one which is common for all the computers? I'm thinking about cross development. Incompatible commands will just cause a "Unsupported command" error.
Oh, Nitro, I'm envy that you have a MSX2+. I only have MSX and MSX2.
