A version with these and a few other changes made is as follows:

If I try to just copy, paste and run this code, the compiler automatically picks up all the instances of "radius" and attempts to interpret it as part of "rad" (makes sense)… so it produces a Syntax Error and I can't run it unless all instances of "radius" are changed to whatever non-keyword ("rdius" or"rds", for example).
So how come it works for you – I assume you tested it before posting, so it should have produced an error on your end too, or is there a setting in IDE that I'm missing :)

It sounds as though you have the Lowercase Keywords option set. That is non-standard for BBC BASIC (all versions apart from BB4W force you to use capitals for keywords) and since most users don't set that option you will find many programs listed that are not compatible with it.
If you want to ensure that all programs you find listed on the web and elsewhere run, disable the Lowercase Keywords option. That is the default setting on installation and it will ensure maximum compatibility with other versions of BBC BASIC.

Right that was it – no idea how it ended up turned on though, must have been a mistake. Thanks!
