1. Obscure commands, part 3

Quick note: to clarify a comment made in part 1, in PRINT # (and 
INPUT #) statements, attributes such as BRIGHT are available WITHIN 
the PRINT statement, but not as separate statements such as BRIGHT 1: 
PRINT # . . .

3.  CLS #

This command works on Sprectrum ROMs with the microdrive in use.  
Keying this on normal T/S 2068s gives the ? cursor before the #.

Usually the 2068 BASIC is portrayed as a superset of the ZX Spectrum 
BASIC.  This is generally true, but here is one exception--an example 
of a Spectrum statement that cannot be used on the conventional 
2068.  Are there others?
