RND can now be called without parentheses (equivalent to RND(1)), matching real GW-BASIC behavior for legacy code compatibility. Update all Sphinx documentation pages to reflect features added in v0.6.0-0.8.0: DATE$/TIME$/TIMER, FILES/SHELL/CHDIR/MKDIR/RMDIR, AUTO/RENUM/DELETE, COMMON, LPRINT/LLIST with --lpt, --full TUI flag, dynamic screen buffer, 54 tests.

Tests
54 test programs in tests/programs/. Run the full suite:
bash tests/run_tests.sh
Each test has a 5-second timeout. When .expected files are present
(generated from real GWBASIC.EXE), the runner also reports compatibility
match status.
Compatibility Testing
Compare output against real GWBASIC.EXE running under DOSBox-X:
# Generate .expected files from GWBASIC.EXE (requires DOSBox-X Flatpak)
bash tests/run_compat.sh --generate
# Compare gwbasic output against .expected
bash tests/run_compat.sh
CI
GitHub Actions runs on every push to main and on pull requests. The workflow
builds the project with PulseAudio support and runs all 54 test programs.
