Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Why can't we deleet a posts if it is messed up or like in this case just posted as I edit the title. Oh well. If anyone knows to kill this post do so.

I have seen it stated that we are out of command slots and then I saw that in the case of WII Numbchuck and Classic it seemed like subcommands where use to make that work. I think that is what that was done with the Maths commands structure, maybe not. �

I know I may be crucified for bringing this up. �In RFO Basic for Android for example, they use a two caracter prfix command + .subcommands scheme and I remember the author saying it was that command slots was the reason for this structure. �The graphics commands are all gr.point gr.circle etc. The BlueTooth are Bt. �Would this approch make more command slots available without performance hist or am I not understanding how MMbasic works, witch is very likely. �If that was done it would be easy to convert any current code by adding the prefixes. before subcommands. �I am so intreged by the structure of MMBasic. �If something like this would really adversely effect performance because of parsing overhead than it would not be advisable. �I'm Just wondering. �I am not even proposing this change.
