(And while we're at it, I fail to see how `&h10' is preferable -- it introduces a new character just like `$', and it needs another letter.

Not the BASIC versions I've used. But I guess any language feature one can imagine is part of *some* BASIC dialect. (Yeah, from time to time it's good to point at those who are even worse off with their dialects than Pascal is ... ;-)
BTW, who put the `[SPAM]' in the subject? I actually don't like to write spam ...
