In 1994 when I began using DOS 5.0 it had QBASIC which was a free BASIC insteas
of the costly QUIKBASIC program.
I had always used line numbers when writing BASIC code and never adjusted to
writing any without line numbers.
QUIKBASIC would use GOTO with a named section of code and nstead of GOTO 300 as
I was used to 
Remember ten years before I got that DOS 5.0 machine I was learning CBM BASIC
on my C=64 . Old habits are hard tobreak.
