- Support for sound via the speaker
- No support for scoped variables
- No support for structured variables
- No command line parameters
- No support for environment
- Supports output tho the line printer via the lprint command
- No direct support for error handling, but error handling can be achieved using assembly language by changing the error handler address
- Support for streams when using Interface 1, but no support for freefile
- Can read keystrokes using
INKEY$ - No support for multiple line
IFconditionals - No conditional compilation directives
