Except Micromite and PicoMite don't have .inc files, and as @Mixtel90 pointed out may or may not have an SD card or other storage media allowing them to load ANY files. I don't think anybody is arguing that SQLite support would be a bad thing (though I certainly could if pressed) just that it isn't a suitable solution to the problem at hand. The problem at hand is how we can encode modest amounts of data within a .bas file and encapsulate that data in such a fashion that access to multiple data sections can be intermingled without tramping on each other and without requiring too many contortions by the programmer. EDIT: Peter provided an approach that would allow access to 2 data sections to be intermingled (using READ SAVE and READ RESTORE), whereas I am an advocate of an approach allowing access to N data sections, and if you balk at my original PEEK/POKE syntax then it could be "READ DATAPOS data_pos%" and "RESTORE DATAPOS data_pos%".
