I know I have some of the BASIC coding forms for the TRS-80 model 1 
around here somwehre. One side is a screen display layout sheet (divided 
up into the 64*16 matrix for characters and the 128*48 graphics matrix). 
the other side is for writing BASIC on. It has the usual 
1-character-per-box bit for writing BASIC lines, and an area down the 
right hand side where you list the variables you've used.

I can't remember the last time I used them, though.

I should have some coding forms for the HP9100 calculator around here 
too, and maybe some for the HP67.
