I thought removing the line number "1" would have broken the peace. There are people still using question marks for "PRINT".
Code: (Select All)1:::::for t=1to 15 _

Sadly, the row of colons would still have to be supported because ancient code did stuff like that if there was enough RAM, to visually delimit the subroutines. Man I hated a "GOSUB" statement having a line number that pointed to a comment! Those programmers hating renumbering their programs too. Not as much "GOTO" because "GOSUB" represented a need that was filled in nicely by QuickBASIC, so nicely that in M$'s brand in 2005 "GOSUB" was ditched and "RETURN" was changed to do something else.
