[Coco] Color Basic Renumber

[Stephen H. Fischer]

I am unable to find any RENUM programs in Rainbow. Either by searching the Text Searchable Rainbow Index or using Google search on Aarons site which includes Rainbow, 68 Micro Journal, and six more magazines.

Anyway many of the early Rainbow on Tape are missing.
