REM Shift-L bug

[calmsacibis995]

Suppose this code:

Typing REM and then Shift-L will cause BASIC to error out when listing the program. Low-priority bug.

I suppose this would be an enhancement request as this is the behavior of BASIC v2. Unquoted characters >= $80 after a REM isn't supported, even on the C64.

BASIC v7 is different, however. It instead replaces the comment with 10 REM RGR, instead of throwing a syntax error.

[calmsacibis995]

One possible solution is when running the LIST command, BASIC checks if the token is the REM token. If it is, it will ignore everything, untill it reaches an NUL byte. If not, it will interpret everything else as a token, and its arguments if they do exist.
