Answer 3

Commodore 128 uses Basic program language to allow you to create and run programs.  I have the 64 version but it works the same way.  In any case try the link below and see if you can create your own programs.

Answer 4

Yeehaw! I never owned one, but you have to load programs with the "load" command and some following gibberish. You'll also want a Commodor-branded cassette drive, and preferably a floppy disk drive, too. Just so you know, the C128 is basically just a C64 with twice the RAM and 80 column text as opposed to 40.

Here's a guide to loading software:
