Hi P-fans!
About that P stuff, I just remembered about a Basic COMPILER for the ZX spectrum
that got out in ... 1984/5 [coincidence, is it ??!!] called "Blast" that generated P-code.
That's right, it was not code, it was "pseudo" code, that was very much compressed,
and very nasty to understand. It was the first time I heard about the p-code.
Yes, I think this can be it! Hope I helped.

A long time ago, when Propaganda did a (semi-)live tour in Holland, the
bandmembers where asked what the P stand for. Claudia the answered: Pipi
machen. In plain english that is: taking a leak.
