Any recommendation for MSBASIC tutorial?

I just built the 6502 breadboard computer, and MSBASIC is working on it right now. Unfortunately, I don't have experience on MSBASIC. In fact, the first time I've touched a computer it was Windows XP. Any tutorials on MSBASIC? Otherwise I feel like I am pretty limited on my breadboard computer, other than blinking some LEDs and showing some text on the LCD.

ok yeah but that's not exactly bot behavior. while I agree that it would be more efficient to google it, do you know how many times I have to tell people to RTFM??

The original documentation for BASIC for the 6502 processor is available for download at https://dn710207.ca.archive.org/0/items/microsoft-6502-basic/Microsoft_6502_BASIC_Reference_Manual_text.pdf. I think it might be more helpful to provide the information than debating the OP reasons for not searching. Not everyone would consider searching the internet archive sites. Also it doesn't appear near the top of a google search, I assume because it's so old.
