Won't you only find packages that have the exact description "basic interpreter" that way, or is the search cleverer than that?

will show you. There is also opencomal which is a basic like language
with more structure.

If you are looking for an interactive interpreter as an alternative to a
bash shell, and I would recommend iPython rather than a BASIC variant.
Python is far more powerful language with a vast range of library
modules, and iPython allows you to use all of that interactively.

It should work on the console without any GUI running.
Try running it with the -D flag:
rtb -D
then looking at the list of modes it prints, then you can pick the mode/resolution with
rtb -m X
where X is the mode number listed from the -D command. Mode 0 is usually
the highest resolution one which is the default if you don't use the
-m flag.
RTB (and wiringPi) are sort of on holiday right now - I've had some health issues in the past year or 2 and am now in the middle of moving house,
so once the dust has settled I'll be doing more with them.

Two Raspberry Pi related options:

I know... but........ that seems great if you do things with PowerShell
on Windows, not so much as a deliberate/independent choice on the Pi.

Right! Thanks. I looked at the documentation and did try the -D flag but
I was another step removed, over ssh, and it just would not start. I
have not tried forwarding the X-server, that seemed a little over the
top for OP who intended it as a bash tool.

Yup.
Why?
The more sophisticated Windows users think PowerShell is wonderful
because it give them access to a lot of stuff the GUI doesn't touch,
chap wants to get back to BASICs. Why, we don't know.
dabble with VBA in Access, and even more occasionally in Excel, but I
have no other use for any form of BASIC.
The Raspberry Pi 400, to me is just screaming to be booted up with a BBC BASIC prompt without a GUI. Just switch it on, and start coding like
it's 1984... er, 1981.

If you had a BBC Micro in 1981 I'm impressed, there were a handful
of model As shipped in December but even at Torch we didn't get model B boards until well into 1982.

Why would you fart about with that rather than using one of the standard shells such as zsh? Not that I'd ever dream of writing a script with a shell scripting language.
Has anyone seen my straight jacket?
