I love that in the listing every keyword is abbreviated, even F. for FOR!

I lived through the era of type-in BASIC games, and had an 8-bit micro whose BASIC also had abbreviations, but I don't recall seeing magazine listings so vehemently abbreviated!!

To save bytes? To save typing? Or... just to seem more l33t ^_^
