This Program implements ISO Full BASIC.
All of the core module and the graphics module of Full BASIC are implemented, 
though there remains slight incompatibility.
A major part of the modules module and the indivisual character input module are implemented. 

You can use this BASIC with referring to ANSI Full BASIC standard.
ANSI Full BASIC standard can be purchased from TECHSTREET
ANSI/INCITS 113-1987  
  http://www.techstreet.com/standards/INCITS/113_1987_R1998_?product_id=56134
ANSI/INCITS 113a-1989
  http://www.techstreet.com/standards/INCITS/113_1987_R1998_Add_1_1989?product_id=56135

ISO Full BASIC is a super-set of ECMA BASIC.
Thus ECMA-116 standard may be a good and free reference about Full BASIC.
Decimal BASIC is compatible with ECMA BASIC-1, ECMA GRAPHICS module, and the EXCEPTION HANDLING part of BASIC-2.
The reserved words of Decimal BASIC are those of BASIC-2.
