==Functionality==
Typical toolkit functionality included editing extensions, such as commands to renumber a program, perform block line deletions and so on, facilities to make [[structured programming]] possible, and additional keywords to perform new functions. In the case of the latter, these new functions often allowed the programmer to easily access the computer's [[computer graphics|graphics]], [[sound effects|sound]] and other hardware which was often partially or completely unsupported in the early BASICs. This would have otherwise been achieved by arcane usage of ''[[PEEK and POKE]]'' commands and [[machine language]] [[routineSubroutine|routines]]s.
