Peter sorry it took me a while to answer this, but here goes
At present we are playing a 5th edition game, have been for about a
year. I keep having to replace my character sheet and did wonder if I
couldn't program something on my M100. Like an electronic 5e character
sheet. Presently I don't have a clue how such a thing could be achieved,
but I do have an idea of how it might work.
A primary screen showing character stats and a second page for
inventory. Perhaps toggling between the two using the tab key.
I myself have been reading up on D&D Basic, as found in the Cyclopedia
TSR 1071. I own the 1070 boxset which as i understand it was when TSR
combined Basic, Expert, Companion and Master all in to one.
If I can make a set of DnD tools would i use my M100 to manage my DnD
games? You're damn right I would!

Great, I'll have to check that out!
I'm currently checking out all the books that have been suggested to me.
Really difficult to find physically books.

"Dragon" was about role-playing games, primarily D&D.

Was the Dragon Magazine a computer mag or a magazine about roleplaying?

I have just about got the Dungeon Master's Personnel Service debugged
and working on Virtual T.

I’ve read the M100 manual and it did have some examples on there, but the
majority of it was more a glossary of statements.

The treasure horde program isn't posted anywhere. It's not long, but I don't
have a copy on this machine. When I get home, I can send it to the list.

You may be interested in knowing that I have already cut that text out
of the pdf of Dragon #74 and then pasted it back together in a text
file. Better than typing it all in like the old days, yes? I just ran
it in Virtual T (Model 100) and it barfs at the command "randomize".
I did the same thing with a program to generated character for TSR's
Top Secret RPG, and then adapted it for the Model 100. It looks at the
tail end of TIME$ to randomise from 1 to 10 and then goes through that
many random numbers. It is on my Club 100 member page, but the member
pages are unfortunately down just now.
I know that there is a program that does exactly what you describe
called D20.BA. I don't know how it randomises.
I am interested in that program to generate treasure. BTW it is called
a treasure "hoard".

In most cases the syntax could change but the command should mostly be the
same. Depending on what machine you're using that particular book was published
with versions for specific Basics Commodore Atari Apple TRS-80 etc.
Do a Google search for Dragon magazine 74 PDF and there should be a program
listing that is a dungeon Master's kind of utility program. It's not the only
one. Don't be confused by the battle computer that is really just a slotted
wheel for determining combat to hit percentages.

It says for the TRS80 Model 3... I'm assuming that would still be alright?

If your D&Dness includes wanting to write text adventures in BASIC, Tim
Hartnell’s Creating Adventure Games On Your Computer was very nice.
Come to think of it, I still own a book on writing text adventures in
BASIC ... probably sitting on the top shelf of my bookshelf at home. I
could look up the title later tonight when I get home if it is of any
interest.
