- The Psion comes with OPL (Organizer Programming Language) built in. It's
- somewhat like Basic with proper procedures and local variables along with
- a complete windowing and menu system built in. Very easy to use. The only
- limitation I've found is that you can only have 1 dimensional arrays.
-
- It's very easy to write your own applications for the machine using this
- language making them indistinguishable from those that come with the
- machine itself.
