- completely compatible with Atari BASIC
- LEFT/MID/RIGHT string handling to make porting of MS BASIC programs easier
- caching of line numbers and loops from BASIC XL/TURBO which makes most programs much faster
- a new floating point library that fixes the performance problems and produces correct output
- additional graphics commands from practically everywhere
- performance improvements in the OS drawing routines like Alitrra
- additional memory management like BASIC XE

- enhanced math functions like TAN(X), SINH(X) etc.
- integer variables! these can save lots of memory in almost any program
- an integer math pack, which builds on top of the item above for vastly improved performance
- a new full-screen editor that allows scrolling instead of the constant LISTing now required
- perhaps a new E: driver that goes with that editor
- a FILL command instead of the XIO call
- CIRCLE and ARC commands
- a compiler
- should be able to cope with 4 MiB RAM

- end-of-line loop constructs like those in BASIC-PLUS, one of the few features MS did not copy from that language. These simplify many common tasks and can improve both memory and performance.
- BYTE variables, perhaps using a A! syntax. These would be useful in so many contexts.
- LINE variables, perhaps A@, which are stored as integers but automatically pushed on the loop stack
