 BASIC[/qualifier]
       /B11
       /BP2
       /USING:userbasicsystem

 The BASIC command invokes a BASIC subsystem upon the issuing terminal.
 BASIC is a high level language that is relatively easy to learn.
 The acronym BASIC stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic
 Instruction Code.

 The default BASIC subsystem invoked by this command is DIGITAL
 BASIC-11, which is compatible with Dartmouth BASIC.
 DIGITAL BASIC-11 is exited via the BYE command.  You can specify the
 /B11 qualifier if you wish, but it is not necessary.

 If your installation has DIGITAL's BASIC-PLUS-2, the /BP2 qualifier
 will invoke it. BASIC-PLUS-2 has its own help facility.  Invoke 
 BASIC-PLUS-2 with the BASIC/BP2 command and type INQUIRE for help.
 BASIC-PLUS-2 is exited via the EXIT command.

 If your installation has another BASIC subsystem, it may be invoked
 with the USING qualifier. See your system manager for more information
 on any additional BASIC subsystems available to you.
