So, in other words, PBASIC is becoming more like standard BASIC. I like it. Now, if we could just add a few more variables, floating point math, and negative numbers, we'd be all set...

Floating point math is not a problem with the pbasic language, but rather with the BASIC stamp itself. We would require a much more expensive microprocessor if we wanted to do floats. This is also the reason we can't have more variables, there is only so much RAM space.
