Extensions to built-in features

The installed TI BASIC Language conformed to the ANSI Standard for Minimal BASIC (X3.60-1978).

Several arcane versions of the BASIC dialect added additional commands to it. Very few programs were ever written to take advantage of the additional commands hidden in some of those cartridges (most notable here is the Personal Record Keeping cartridge), while others had considerable effort devoted to them (TI Extended BASIC being a great favorite).

Other cartridges that added specialized commands to TI BASIC were the Terminal Emulator II module, the Mini-Memory module, and the Editor/Assembler module. The Myarc and the CorComp disk controllers added a number of additional support routines to the language.

Other cartridges for which a number of available programs exist are the

• TI Logo I and Logo II modules (available with the commands localized into several different languages, providing several different versions of the same cartridge),
• FIG Forth V2.0 from Michael Weiand, and
• templates for the Microsoft Multiplan module.
