Ever consider adding _SAVE and _SAVEAS? I was thinking today (shut up Steve) that since someone changed the IDE save function to a more Windows type look, it might be fairly easy to code these nice features and add them to our keywords, much like the _InputBox feature.
I figure as long as we never lose our BASIC buildings blocks, to be able to build these functions from scratch, additions like this can't hurt the language and they might make the language more attractive to new users.
Oh, and as a side note, did you folks know the IDE cannot correctly save a program with certain control characters enclosed in quotes? Easy enough to work around that by making the string as CHR(0) + CHR$(1)... etc. Anyway, just thought I'd bring it up in case anyone has the time to look into it, after you're done poking fun at Steve's code while on Discord.
