bwbasic is a standard C90 program, so it is not appropriate
for bwbasic documentation to mention anything about CMS
in particular. It is the C library documentation that should
take it to the next step. Or as you can see below with the
double quotes, it is CMS that needs to document it.
Yes, the interactive environment is included. Here is
Sixpack 1.2 running:
08:10:08 /(0009) bwbasic
08:10:08
Bywater BASIC Interpreter/Shell, version 2.50
08:10:08

08:10:08
08:10:19 /(0009) print "hi"
08:10:19 bwBASIC: 0
08:10:27 /(0009) print 3+4
08:10:27 bwBASIC: 7
08:10:37 /(0009) print 'hi'
08:10:37 bwBASIC:
08:10:37 ERROR: in bwb_exp(): Error detected in parsing expression
08:11:17 /(0009) print ""hi""
08:11:17 bwBASIC: HI
08:11:36 /(0009) exit
08:11:36 bwBASIC:
08:11:36 ERROR: in bwb_exit(): Nonsense or nothing following EXIT
08:11:40 /(0009) quit
08:11:40 bwBASIC:
08:11:40 Ready; T=0.04/0.06 21:11:40
Note that the prompting is not very good because there
is no newline after the prompt. And note that on the PC,
if you do print “hi” it does not uppercase the “hi”. So
that is presumably a function of CMS.
Let me know if you need any further information.

Is there any documentation on how its set up for CMS. Is the interactive environment included.
It just seems to want to run a program and exit.
