==Sample commands== In BASIC 8.0, all added commands were prefaced with the [[@]] mark, which was not normally used in Commodore BASIC, to distinguish between the original and the new keywords. The use of this character would allow the developer to extend BASIC 7.0 without having to re-tokenize the commands as it was done on the C64. It was accomplished by trapping the syntax error generated by the command. * <code>@CHAR</code> – Displays a text string on a bitmap field (similar to the BASIC 7.0's low-res <code>CHAR</code> command) * <code>@MODE</code> – Switch between one of up to 32 high-res screens * <code>@PAINT</code> – Fill a closed area with a color or a pattern * <code>@PIXEL</code> – Returns the color value of a pixel * <code>@STASH</code> – Copies part or all of a screen for later usage * <code>@WALRUS</code> – Displays the Walrusoft logo and the type/size of video RAM used (16K or 64K) * <code>@WINDOWOPEN</code> – Define part of the screen as a 'window' for purposes of drawing
