basic commands

I have a Keithley application note for the Franck-Hertz experiment.
It contains some BASIC code for control and data collection. The dialect
of BASIC doesn't seem to be identified. I don't recognize some of the
commands and can't guess what they mean. On the other hand, I don't use
BASIC very often. They are:
FIND
READ
WINDOW

If you know what they are please let me in on it.

READ is not unusual for a BASIC program.
It is hard to tell from just a few of keywords, so would you mind
posting the first 20-30 lines of code?

You're going to have a problem with line 121. :-)

I couldn't find "SET KEY" or "PAGE" commands in "The BASIC Handbook,
3rd Edition," Copyright 1986, by Dr. David A. Lien, which was a pretty
comprehensive reference of BASIC dialects at the time. I suspect this
is either a later BASIC or an obscure one.

Probably my typo...
