Yes, that is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. I’ve seen at least two examples of editors that allow writing in a more modern looking “language” and then export to BASIC. I think one was Windows-only, and I don’t recall the second.

There is a VI thing that Rick Adams uses that is also similar. At least, I think it was VI.
