The ANSI standard is almost painful to read, and I have never seen a
published grammer for any of the MS basics.

[The original Dartmouth Basic was designed to be trivially parsable with
simple techniques, e.g., each statement type started with a different
letter. I doubt there's a grammar for MS Basic, which looks like the
result of way too much adhoc code in the parser. -John]
