This news passed me by, so if you missed it too:

I've found that Lee Davidson’s Enhanced Basic has been ported to the KIM-1 by Carl Myerholtz.

There is also a extra version for Hans KIM-1 Simulator.

Yes, that is a nice addition.
EHBasic is one of Lee Davison's fine works. It is in the core Microsoft Basic! He disassembled and enhanced the Basic interpreter.

Congratulations the new find!

It seems you haven’t added it to your site yet ;)

It is on the (long) list of things to add to the website.

EHBasic is using some KIM-1 TTY tricks my simulator does not support yet in this way. I am working on adding this somehow.

Works well on the PAL-II so far. I've used this basic on my 6502 cluster build and like it a lot.

It is very impressive. Lee did a great job in expanding the original Basic version.
Let me dream: 
The Load and save commands should be expanded with the 1541 Routines. THis would be the absolute killer.
An add-on board with the 1541 connector, a ROM board for the 1541 routines and EhBasic on disk...
