+BBC BASIC is an interpreted version of the BASIC programming language
+originally developed by Acorn Computers for the 6502 CPU.  Compared to
+other BASIC implementations, BBC BASIC adds structured programming as
+well as a built-in Z80 assembler.
+
 #### Syntax
 
-#### Usage
+| `BBCBASIC` [*\<filename\>*]
 
-#### Notes
+#### Usage
 
-#### Etymology
+The full documentation for BBC BASIC (Z80) is found online at
+<https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcbasic/mancpm/index.html>.
 
+#### Notes
 
+The cursor and screen management assumes the use of an ANSI/VT-100
+terminal which is generally correct for RomWBW.  Support for a hardware
+system timer is also implemented.  If your system does not have a
+hardware timer, the TIME function will always return 0 and the timeout
+parameter of the INKEY(n) function will not be observed (will never
+timeout).
 
+#### Etymology
 
+This is a RomWBW HBIOS adaptation of BBCBASIC v5.00 by R.T.Russell.
+This implementation was adapted from the source code found at
+<https://github.com/rtrussell/BBCZ80>.
 
+The adaptation to RomWBW was minimal and includes:
 
+- VT100 terminal control
 
+- TIME function

+Tasty Basic is provided on RomWBW as both a ROM implementation and as
+a CP/M application.  The CP/M version should be used if you wish to
+save Tasty Basic files.
 
+#### Etymology
 
+The implementation of Tasty Basic included in RomWBW is the work of
+Dimitri Theulings.  The primary distribution site for this work is

-#### Usage
+#### Syntax
 
-#### Notes

+where *\<mode\>* can be:\
+**`   S  -`** Send file from BBS \

+**`   K  -`** Ymodem 1024 byte blocks (CRC only)
 
+and *\<unit\>* can specify a single digit (0-9) that specifies
+the RomWBW Character Unit to use for the file transfer.
 
+#### Usage
 
+#### Notes
 
+If no *\<unit\>* is specified, ZMD will use the current HBIOS
+console for the file transfer.
 
+#### Etymology
 
+ZMD v1.50 was produced by Robert Kramer.  The RomWBW adaptation just
+uses the RomWBW HBIOS serial API.
