Many thanks from us all for maintaining this document! The above fact is very helpful in that we can invoke the default BASIC program, change the prompts to our own language and save as stated above. I guess we'll still need a cheat sheet for the STAT functions...

As far as I can tell, it can be any BASIC program. I tested it out by writing a short "Hello World" program and saving it as "BASE_N.BAS". When I pressed the BASE-n key, it prompted to clear the BASIC memory. Afterwards, it loaded my "Hello World" program and gave the command "GOTO 100", which ran the program. You can restore default functionality by deleting any program named "BASE_N.BAS" from the filesystem.

As far as STAT mode. Agreed that you may need a cheat sheet for it. However, if you use it often enough, it is pretty straightforward to use. Hope this helps.
