The main difference was that 48K basic you had to find the keyboard key with the keyword on it and press that to get the word. Some keys had 6 different functions. It was like learning the 2000 Jōyō Kanji.

With 128 basic, blessed that it is, you could just type like a real human. If you want to print, type PRINT. It taught me how to type really badly and really quickly.

interesting. so the tokenized keywords were directly input by the user instead of parsed and transformed into a token form. certainly economical in how the code was composed and transformed. a lot less parsing code I would guess.
