In know that my first BASIC, Applesoft BASIC had the 2-character names, and you had to load Integer Basic (with Ints in addition to the standard Floats used in the BASIC provided by the ROM, a strange choice).
That's not the way I remember it working. Integer Basic provided only integers; Applesoft was an alternative ROM that replaced Integer Basic and provided both float and int variables. But I think the only reason to use int variables (ending with %) in Applesoft was to save memory -- they were always converted to floats for doing arithmetic. And they were 16-bit ints, so they had less precision than floats. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
