title: What's the difference between AHK_Basic and AHK_L?
body: <p>I've noticed that some AutoHotkey scripts specify that they were created specifically for either AHK_Basic or AHK_L.</p>
  
  <p>From searching AHK questions on Stack Overflow, AHK_L seems to be the more popular variant, with <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/15712415/3357935">one question asking</a> how to enable AHK_L features in AHK_Basic.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>What's the difference between AHK_Basic and AHK_L?</li>
  <li>How can I tell which version I have?</li>
  <li>Which version is distributed on the <a href="https://www.autohotkey.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AutoHotkey website</a>?</li>
  </ul>
