It's ok. But I think these things (EDIT command, Editor displays number in the Status Line, INFO list program sizes and first line of each program) are ready in the FORTH before the multiple BASIC programs idea come. Because in the FORTH these are natural parts of the language.
When the multiple programs decided, then you started thinking how to do it?
It is very logical if you used "1 EDIT" in the FORTH then put "EDIT 1" to BASIC. And also the other things (status line number, INFO list).

Yes the status line & INFO are clearly influenced by each other but I couldn't say for sure which came first...but I would guess BASIC - that was in a more advanced state of development and also was more important to be finished first. At least there is a consistent look 

I found some news about Robert Madge.

Wow, he gets about a bit doesn't he!

How did you find this information?

hi All

I specifically remember three people from Enterprise computers, when at Hoxton Street,London.

Gerald morgan, who i think was a programmer/tech guy.

I did some googling, and found this http://enterprise.iko.hu/technical/Enterprise-AppNote-24.pdf - it mentions Gerald directly

Steve Groves, Sales Manager/spokesperson (i think) - i remember ,he was very kind to us and gave me his telephone number and I remember it today, but it was before British Telecom changed all the local exchange's and prefixed the 0xxx dialling codes with 01,

Also Keith elliott, i think he was Marketing but again I cannot recall or find him on the internet... presumably he and Steve retired some time ago..

Dear Mr. Tanner,
Have you seen this website?
http://www.cortexcontrollers.com/corporate.html
And after clicking on his name, you get:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/n.toop/nick/

Yes I have seen that thank you Tuby128 - he seems to have been doing that for a long time!

What do you think Bruce? Can you try again? Probably one old friend can more successfully?

I can only try! Nick worked in Cambridge (where he still is) at the east of the country - I started out there for the first 6 months but then got moved to London where IS's office was and rarely saw him after that. "Old friend" might be exaggerating the situation a bit!

I can imagine the following phonecall:
- Hello, this is Mr. Tanner, may I have to speak with Mr. Toop please?
- I am Mr. Toop, what can I do for you?
....
 Like an american film.

We can name a more dozen of films. This is simply a protocol how to call a unknown man. Yes, he is not unknow for Mr. Tanner, but it is better if we are decent.
