Probably because they already had "NEW".https://www.ninerpedia.org/wiki/TI-99/4A_system_usage#Loadin... discuss order hn newest eesmith|1 month ago My 40 year old memories are indeed faulty. Thanks for the correction!FWIW, I probably confused it with Commodore Basic, since part of me wanted to put a ",1" at the end of the load command. timbit42|1 month ago The reason it had the OLD command is because the original version of BASIC, Dartmouth BASIC, had the OLD command.Microsoft BASICS didn't have it.
