A trick for BASIC programs that wish to distinguish between old and new
basic is to PEEK() some location in the BASIC interpreter. The old basic
interpreter always returned 0 for PEEK() between some addresses,
corresponding to the BASIC interpreter. PEEK(50003) was a popular
location I think, because in the new basic it contains 1.
