-- *!* marks a command token (unmarked tokens are operator
- tokens). *28* is the token for **?** (short form of PRINT, which has a
- separate token).
-
-- *$* marks the string-constant token (*0f*).
-
-- *=* marks the string length byte (*0e*).
-
-- The string itself is printed inside double quotes, with each character in
- both ASCII and hex (e.g. *H/48*).
-
-- The *15* is unmarked. It's the semicolon after the string.
-
-- There's a *:* at the end of the line (after the *14*, which is the end-of-statement
- token).
-
-Line 10's second statement::
-
- >1b !02 80 16
-
-The *80* is a token for a variable (variable tokens always have bit 7 set, so they're
-always >= 80 hex). The *16* is the end-of-line token.
-
-Line 20's first statement has an example of a floating point constant::
-
- #0e [40 01 00 00 00 00]
-
-- *#* marks the token for a FP constant.
-
-- The actual 6-byte constant is surrounded with *[* and *]*.
-
-- The last token is *16*, which is BASIC's end-of-line token.

-EXAMPLE
-=======
-If **dumpbas** is run on the following program::
-
- 10 ? "HOW MANY TIMES";:INPUT N
- 20 FOR I=1 TO N
- 30 ? "HELLO ";:? I;"/";N:NEXT I
- 40 REM WAIT FOR KEY
- 50 POKE 764,255
- 60 ? "PRESS ANY KEY"
- 70 IF PEEK(764)=255 THEN 70
- 80 POKE 764,255:GOTO 10
-
-**Note:** The "PRESS ANY KEY" was entered in inverse video.
