Hi Dick, I was talking to someone from Commodore the other day, and I beleive that he mentioned that ABasic does not tokenize. This would be a very good explanation of why an ABasic file is so large compared to a 64's. Of course, the benefit of an untokenized BASIC, is the ability to run straight text files.
