You're literally reading numbers as words

Hehe, no I'm not. When I read mnemonics, I convert that to numbers. I interpret the instructions for what they do, not what they are named.

(and yes, in hexadecimal, A~F are considered numbers)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I learned BASIC on the calc, and I cannot stand programming in BASIC on the computer. Also, people take for granted how powerful their memory can be. A person can literally memorize thousands of these opcodes after using them enough. If a tapeworm can use it's brain to memorize the correct path in a maze, a human can remember things millions or billions times more complex.

*Seriously, there was an experiment with tapeworms where they had a tapeworm go through a maze to get to the food. After a few hundred tries, it finally got to it. They crushed up the tape worm and fed it to another. That tapeworm got through the maze on the first try. They changed the maze a little and the tapeworm tried going the same route and failed. The scientists knew that each segment in a tapeworm had a small piece of its brain, so they were curious about how tapeworm memory works... Apparently Zombie tapeworms would be really smart!

They are actually digits, which make up numbers.

Wait, what -- seriously?  That is cool and slightly disturbing.

Some people have "For rent" signs hanging on their brains instead of actually using them.

And about Comp BASIC, I do use things like SourceCoder when I have to manipulate a large amount of data. It's much easier to copy/paste than to run the program, store to a string, recall, edit a few thousand bytes, then run again to test everything.

I find it very hard to do BASIC on the computer. Like Qwerty, I use stuff like SourceCoder for large copy-paste things.

I love Basic on Computer, Tokens all the way.
