I was looking at the video that Lumage linked earlier (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa3edkiTa0w), and noticed a few things.

Comments following code on the same line do not require the ":" symbol to separate them anymore.

SPSET seems to have multiple modes. One has 5 parameters (SPSET, , , , ), another 6 parameters (it had 0 trailing), and another has 2 (SPSET , ). The latter seems to have a command preceeding it called SPDEF, which takes on the area set from the first SPSET version (SPDEF OUT, , , ). From the look of it, it could be like storing that particular set-up for the sprite, which you could use for other sprites that use the same graphics, which you can then set with SPCHR (SPCHR, ).

SPANIM looks nothing like the one we've worked with. I'm not even sure what all the parameters mean. The 2nd parameter is a string. Here's an example (SPANIM I, "XY", 1, X, Y, -40, X+X1, Y-480). Another I saw was as such (SPANIM J, "UV", TKAN$[NEWC], 0), having 2 string parameters.

SPVAR replaces both SPGETV and SPSETV. Getting a value requires parenthesis with the sprite index and slot (acting like a function with a return value), whereas setting a value does not, and has the third parameter for the number to set into it.

BGSCREEN looks to define a layer's dimensions in tiles (BGSCREEN, , ).

There doesn't seem to be any more scrolling left/right in the edit mode. When you exceed the screen's length, additional characters are simply moved to the next line, and the line number for that new line is empty. The line number continues afterwards as if the non-numbered line was part of the one above it. This is a godsend, as I hate having to scroll left/right to check my code in PTC.

Probably a few others things I missed.
