Example · generated

Form 1, the short one

preferences = CreatePreferences("assets/data.dat")DO  Sync()LOOP

Form 2, with every argument

preferences = CreatePreferences("assets/data.dat", 1)DO  Sync()LOOP

CreatePreferences is called and its answer is printed every frame. The DO … LOOP is not decoration: a classic BASIC program ends the moment it runs out of lines, and Sync() is what draws the frame.
