   Hello, and I've got and used a Simons' BASIC cart for the C-64.  It's   
   best feature is arguably a simpler syntax for doing speedier graphics   
   stuff but a lot of the convenient C-64 key combinations for things like   
   upper/lower case and character color aren't available.  OTOH, the cart   
   does support function key programming with immediate execute and you can   
   always save the key definitions to a file for future use.  The only   
   reason I originally bought the cartridge was to run some ham radio Smith   
   Chart programs written by Lynn Gerig.  Sincerely,
