Indeed, NSBasic is still a supported and sold product, see
<http://www.nsbasic.com/>.
There is a hidden attribute bit in NOS that tells if a given package can
be copied/beamed or not. Many commercial applications come with this bit
set, so, as a result, you can't copy them to another store, or beam them
to another MessagePad. The only way to go is to re-install from the
original disk/package.
