Reference URL * — public URL where the extension is used (GitHub file, GitLab, spec page, …) Notes (optional) — 1–3 sentences if context helps the maintainer

Optional: attach a program from that URL

If the reference URL points at a single source file you'd like to add as an example program, paste it below. The workflow will write it under languages/BBC BASIC/programs/<sha>/. Keep under ~200 lines.
