LET was used in the very first versions of BASIC to assign variables. I probably just implemented it for fun, but didn't mention it in the manual. There is no reason to use it.
And "_" is a valid character for variable names. Because single character names are valid, the underscore is no exception. It didn't came to my mind that anyone would call variables like that though...
