QBASIC didn't have a Compiler as QuikBASICdid, so I never experienced doing
that to ant code I wrote.
Plain Vinalla(?) code is all I could do.

When I began reading the BASIC echo I saw some entries made for DOS BASIC could
be ran on my C=64.
Doing that helped me learning how to do things in  BASIC on my computer.
