I have found that GWBASIC is a very good alternative for BASIC programming on the 95LX. It only uses 80K of disk space, and you can DIET it to 62K.
You can also benefit from GWBASIC's abbreviated typing and press (ALT) and a letter to obtain a whole word (i.e. (ALT)-P = Print, (ALT)-I = Input). This feature is much easier to use if you have the STICK .COM (ON DISK ICON) utility.
I expanded the size of my blinking cursor by typing LOCATE ,,,0 in GWBASIC direct mode. You can also include this command in your programs. I also found that GWBASIC's sound command works differently on the 95LX. For example, if you type SOUND 200,2 in direct mode you cause a tone to sound that continues until you type in SOUND 200,0. If you enter any other SOUND command before SOUND 200,0, you'll lock up the 95LX.
