Well... This "boys" aren't included in ROM BASIC.
The MSX-MIDI BASIC commands are in a "external"* ROM like in
MSX-Music, RS-232, etc...
And MSX View... MSX View is featured with some things:
+ ROM Disk with MSX View files (libraries, binnaries, DAs, etc...);
+ SRAM Disk (msxdos2.sys, command2.com, view.com, etc...);
+ ROM w/ a 12x12 JIS2-Font (254Kb of kanjis);
+ Floppy with others MSX View related things.
About MSX-VIEW, do you know that it can be patched to run in MSX2
machines? Ok, MSX-VIEW is soo slow in R800 mode and is in Japanese but
if you've a MSX2 with JIS2-Driver and MSX-DOS2 you can do it (ops! you
need patch the Turbo-R-check after...) I said it because VIEW is
originally knew as HALNOTE the difference is DOS2 support, standard
JIS2 calls and one or two routines changed. I ran some HALNOTE
software in VIEW. I think that MSX View are only included in ROM on
GT machines because don't had built-in Harddisks.
Hey! About VIEW! I'm look others VIEW users (Yes! I use DRAW just for
fun) for change experiences and software!

(*) Is external and isn't external. Is outside for programmers because
ocupies a their own slot and is inside because in TR machines all ROM
are all included in a 'giant' ROM-Chip.
