BASIC Tokens
In BASIC programs, the keywords (e.g., PRINT, GET, etc.) are not stored as
character strings. Each keyword has a unique "token" assigned to it that is stored
instead of the word itself. BASIC recognizes the tokens because their high bit is
always set. When you enter a BASIC line, BASIC translates the keywords into
tokens for storage. When you LIST a program, BASIC translates the tokens back
into keywords.
