[Coco] Perplexity

[Wayne Campbell]

It did not define base 0, so all of the elements of the array would
generate errors because of the incorrect base. Basic09 defaults to base 1.
Also, it used the term END IF. Basic09 does not use that form. It uses
ENDIF. The separation of words would generate an error in basic09.
