Batch Basic - toy programming language with no line numbers and a few quirks
bb2 [ -h | -v | -q | -e code | -l file | program ]
Batch Basic is a structured dialect of the eponymous language, with no line numbers and a few quirks. It's not very useful by itself, and mainly intended to be embedded, or used as a basis for extension / customization. It supports both interactive use and running programs written in advance, and in fact doesn't make any difference between modes of operation internally.
This manual page describes the command line interface.
Invoked without options, Batch Basic enters an interactive prompt.
