   If that was the future of the language, I'm glad BASIC is dead.

      To give a bit more of context, here is a small subset of the new instructions:

        - SOUND PRELOAD
        - SOUND INFO
        - SOUNDGROUP
        - SOUNDNAME$
        - SOUNDAVAILABLE
      
        - LOADWAV
        - PLAYWAV
        - STOPWAV
        - WAITWAV
        - PAUSEWAV
        - RESUMEWAV
        - WAVCTL
        - DELWAV
        - WAVACTIVE
        - WAVPLAYING
        - WAVSTATE
        - WAVPOS
        - WAVLENGTH
        - WAVLOADED
        - WAVSLOT
        - WAVCHANNEL
      
        - LOADMID
        - PLAYMID
        - STOPMID, WAITMID, DELMID, etc.
      

      What a terribly designed language.

         It's designed to optimize something you're not interested in. That's fine.
