Hi Richard,

I think this is great, and enjoyed reading your code.  Maybe Guile
will eventually fulfil its original goal of supporting multiple
languages via translation.

I have two questions.

- There are many BASICs; does your translator try to emulate one spec
  in particular?  If so, can you give me the reference for that spec?

- Does your translator support BASIC programs split across multiple
  files?  If it doesn't already, then I'd be interested in your
  thoughts on:

  - whether this is a sensible concept

  - how the translator might be extended to support this.

I appreciate you're busy - so if the easiest answer is just to add
this to the TODO list for now, please just do so.

Regards,
        Neil
