BOB is another word for "sprite", it comes from the Amiga where it meant "blitter object". You'll find in DB classic that all the sprite commands have "bob" equivalents.

So "set sprite xx" can also be written as "set bob xx".

They are phased out in DBPro and were not mentioned in DB since about 1.03 I think! But they still existed for legacy reasons.

Cheers,
