  Aren't all BASICs pretty much useless.  ;-)

  I have, otoh, actually run and modified a program
using yabasic.  True, it's bigger, but it seems to
handle the kind of I/O you describe below... as well 
as color text printing.

Not to mention, it has a lot more documentation, and
still seems to be in development.
(unfortunately, the sourceforge site uses https)

  Again, it's bigger at 154,172 bytes, but yabasic 
seems to be much more functional than Chipmunk BASIC.
