Oric's Next Language

With the success of 'l'Oric en France' I expect to find the new ROM containing gems such as:

ECRIRE X,Y FB (draw)
FINI to stop and ARRETE to end (or vice versa)
POUR N=1 A X PIED 2 (FOR N=1 TO X STEP 2)

but VOULEZ VOUS could never replace GET

SI A=10 ALORS TIRER "Franglais roules"

ON N GOSUB would become AU N VASOUS

but ON N GOTO is difficult as AU N VA A

SHOOT should be TIRER but this word is getting overused as it ought to be PULL.
