• don't check for _CONSOLE_ and force one to open, if none is there,
  
• don't check for _EXPLICIT_ and force it, if it's not in effect, etc

Perhaps in Word Of The Day, these demo's might be included.

I, too, would like some demos once this is released. Some of this new stuff seems strange. I'm curious if _CAST works with taking an _OFFSET and turning it into a number. I always had to do myLong = VAL(STR$(myOffset)) in order to convert an _OFFSET to anything else.

Casting _OFFSET is the main reason for that, but I think @a740g has also lifted the restrictions on _OFFSET in general where it makes sense to work with it like a number.
