\Abstract
An interpreter for the \basic\ language is developed entirely in \TeX.
The interpreter presents techniques of scanning and parsing that are
useful in many contexts where data not containing formatting
directives are to be formatted by \TeX. \TeX's expansion rules are
exploited to provide a macro that reads in the rest of the input file
as arguments and which never stops expanding.
