   I think it's possible to convert BASIC 7 to a C64 expansion BASIC *to a   
   degree*: remember that the C128 has 128k of RAM--over 118k available for   
   BASIC--while most C64 expansion BASICs use only 30k for BASIC.  Also note that   
   you may have to port the code    
   yourself, as the tokens would be different.  Finally, note that some   
   C128-specific features--i.e. the BANK command--will be unavailable.  Does this   
   help?
