I am current working up updating Jazz for the HP50G. Every now and
then, I run into the simple comment "BET" and have no idea what this
means. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Also, is anyone here interested in a complete port of Jazz? So far I
have converted most of the display routines over to the HP50G. Jazz
will (in the near future) no longer require UFL. My current build uses
whatever the current MINIFONT is for ED, VV, EC, etc. and also
displays 13 rows of text rather than the original 10. That that the
full screen can be used, I am focusing on the keyboard routines. VV
has been cleaned up and should no longer hang on the HP50G.

Does anyone know if Daniel Lidstrom is still working on Jazz?

BET means
Branch Every Time
if I remember correctly.

So this is just a comment given by the programmer that a loop is
executed if the conditions is met, for example.

Or in other words, BET indicates that the branch condition is always met;-)

Thank you Andreas and Raymond! That little detail has been nagging me
for so long! =)

Or, in some special cases, the preceding code line could read like:
BETter not overflow
