The command to load a program in TI BASIC was actually "OLD <DEVICE>". Probably because they already had "NEW". https://www.ninerpedia.org/wiki/TI-99/4A_system

- eesmith 8mo agoMy 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 8mo agoThe 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.
