At least the first |time I ever encountered it was on MS (Level II) Basic for the TRS-80. |(Level I used P. and never converted it.) | '-------------------------- Well I suppose Microsoft did make many of the BASICs I learnt with... CBM Basic, AmigaBasic, QBasic, QuickBasic. Sinclair Basic let you just press the 'P' key at an appropriate place on the line and it put in 'PRINT' for you. The only non-ms basic I've seen do it is AMOS Basic on the Amiga... but that is a relatively recent development and the ? shortcut is a well established way of doing it now! -Martin |\/| _..__|_o._ /\_|_| o._ _ mart.atkins@-- | |(_|| |_|| | /--\|_|<|| |_> --bigfoot.com
