[Coco] CB, ECB, DECB, & SECB

[David Ladd]

Art,

I looked at the PDF of the original manual that came with the CoCo 3.  It
refers to the updated basic in the CoCo 3 as "Extended Color Basic Version
2".  I did not see anywhere where I read a reference to Super Extended
Color Basic.

My opinion it is probably something the group adopted to make it easier to
distinguesh between the Extended Basic 1.x on the CoCo 1 & 2's verses the
expanded command set in the Extended Basic 2.x on the CoCo 3.  Otherwise if
you were to look at it probably should be named what???? ECBv2?  (*shrug*)
