Interesting, thanks. Note however that the ZX spectrum also did tokenized input. Each key corresponded to a different basic token: http://fms.komkon.org/Speccy/SpeccyKeys.gif.

In the context of lexing and parsing, I was wondering about this idea. The program entry system is kind of like a potentially context-aware parser. No more syntax error are possible...
