This is a really weird little simulation of a faux-64. The virtual machine is not in uppercase mode, typing stuff into it goes in as lowercase and doesn't get properly parsed. (This might be a Safari bug). As far as I recall there was no DELETE keyword, which this thing uses instead of NEW. Different revisions of the C64 ROM did different things with regards to clearing the color memory when clearing the screen, my early c64 would set it all to white, while later revisions would (I think) set it to whatever the current character color was. I guess this is trying to simplify things somewhat to make its points about the power of booting up straight to a BASIC prompt, but it sure does annoy anyone who spent time hacking on a real c64!
