LM80C: new firmware release R3.7

Everybody welcomes new firmware release R3.7!

Lot of improvements on the road:

  • Added HELP command to automatically list the line where a program error has occurred;
  • added modulo operator ‘%’ to make modulus operations between integers (returns the remainder of an integer division);
  • added integer division operator ‘#’ (return the integer part of a division);
  • added support for function keys into firmware;
  • added KEY command to manage function keys: it is now possible to print the current functions and assign new functions to the keys;
  • revised PAUSE code: it is now possible to break the delay with the “RUN STOP” key;
  • better error management when in graphic modes: now if an error occurs in G2 and G3 modes, the BASIC interpreter returns into G1 mode; same behavior if an error occurs in direct mode while in graphics modes;
  • pressing the “RUN STOP” key in direct mode while in graphic modes leads the interpreter to return to G1 mode.
