Just received the PIDP-8i and love it. However, I do have a question. I can run the example Basic programs that come with all the software but if I write even a 1 line program and try to run it I get what I guess is an error message of M10. The 1 line program does save to the attached storage though. Any ideas?

Thank you
Steve

The only valid one-line program in OS/8 BASIC is:

10 END

Unlike Microsoft BASICs, the “END” isn’t optional.

You might find my tutorial helpful.
