Most BASIC commands, statements, and operators deal with the pure BASIC
language itself. However, there are many applications which must interface to
real world hardware. The BASIC CALLs perform this hardware interface function.
There are CALLs that specifically interface the MVI56 backplane, the serial ports,
the on-board wall clock, and so on. In addition, there are CALLs that fulfill BASIC
shortcomings such as string manipulation and program flow control. The
following topics describe each CALL in detail.
