If it's what I think it is....

And keep in mind this is going back to my old Apple & C/PM days...(Early
80's).

It's COMPILED basic.

In otherwords a basic variant that you run through a compilier to produce
a executable.  This is much faster than staandard basic, due to the fact
that standard basic has to compile each line as it goes.
