It's had a couple of BASIC 1.1 commands put into it, so has definitely been modifed from the original listing. From what I can tell its just got a couple of FRAMEs and a CLEAR INPUT. While I normally use WHILE to clear the Keyboard Buffer which is what CLEAR INPUT does, some early listings from that era may have "IF INKEY$<>"" THEN GOTO" with that line Going to itself and continue until INKEY$ is cleared, more or less how a REPEAT...UNTIL functions.
