MOS 3.50/MOS 5.xx: *CONFIGURE output is misleading

Later versions of the Master MOS have fancier *STATUS output, so instead of (say) "InTube" or "NoBoot" or "ShCaps" it spells them out in full and/or with spaces: "Internal Tube", "No Boot", "Shift Caps", and so on. There's a bit of code to insert spaces at appropriate points based on the capitalization, and another bit of code to insert additional chars at specific points when printing.

But, it still does this when you type *CONFIGURE to get the syntax. So you get some rather misleading suggestions, for things that aren't actually valid *CONFIGURE options:

Code:

Internal TubeNo BootShift Caps
