===== INDEX OF ABBREVIATIONS =====

In order to participate in competitions for space-optimized programs (like [[:ugbasic:10liner|BASIC 10 Liner]]), it is advisable to reduce 
the size of each keyword. In ugBASIC this is possible because each keyword has an equivalent 
translation in a two (or three) character abbreviation.

Example:
    LOCATE 10, 10 : REM 13 characters
    Lc10,10 : REM 7 characters

Note that ugBASIC does not need keyword separators. It follows that those commands formed by several 
keywords can be not only abbreviated but also "merged" with each other.

Example:
    POSITIVE CONST c = 42 (21 characters)
    PstC# c = 42 (12 characters)

The exception to this rule is the use of variables and constants. Indeed, since variables and constants 
can contain uppercase characters such as the second letter onwards, it is necessary to separate the 
keyword from the variables/constants:

Example:
    PUT IMAGE x AT 42,y (19 characters)
    PuImx At42,y (12 characters)
