One of the Project Missions: Enhancing wwwBasic

I've added three new string functions to the version of wwwBasic embedded in BASIC Anywhere Machine: NOW$, TIME$, and DATE$.  (See the screenshot below.) 

Try it out:  BASIC Anywhere Machine

Keep track of progress and get information at the project website.

Make sure to keep an eye on the evolving BASIC Anywhere Machine Programmer's Reference.

"Program Launcher(?) tiddlers?
