Some of these early BASICs (especially those based on Microsoft BASIC) tokenise the lines as they store them in memory, which takes a small amount of time, so it may be wise to build in the capability to pause for 100mS or so after each "newline" to allow time for this to happen.The delay can sometimes get longer as the program gets longer.
