Not likely, I don't have electricity in my storage units, and the only
receptical is a LONG ways away! Besides my wife wouldn't like me hiding out
up there, she doesn't mind when I hid out in the computer room at home.

Oh, and then there is the fact that if I'm going to be writing something in
BASIC, it's going to be on a PDP-10, PDP-11 or a VMS box. Which brings up
the question of how do you clear the screen on a VT100 using BASIC-PLUS-2?
The following works on my Alpha using DEC BASIC, and looks like it should
work using BASIC-PLUS-2.

1 declare string constant CLS = ESC + "[H" + ESC + "[J"
110 print CLS
