Programming language
It was a central idea of the treatment of the window according to the same syntax as the modeling of the file handling.
This universal syntax is one of the characteristics of Liberty BASIC, which make it easier to learn. As soon as a "device" is opened, it can send data and control commands to the device. This command " can be specified with PRINT". For each device has its own instruction sets. In the newer versions of Liberty BASIC, the word " print " can be omitted, so that the syntax is even simpler.
For example
NOMAINWIN OPEN " inscription of the" FOR window AS # window # Window " trapclose [ quit ] " ' or PRINT # window, " trapclose [ quit ] " WAIT [ quit ] CLOSE # window END generated Books
