   I never knew that is where the name came from.  My first MS-DOS computer   
   came with v3.3 and GWBASIC was the basic interpreter that came installed   
   with it.   
      
   I cannot remember which interpreter came with 5.0, though.

   I used Q-Edit from fairly early on, before any of the BBSes I called   
   offered QWK mail.  I started using it because the editor I had been using,   
   PC-Write, didn't save things in plain text.  Back then, DOS came with EDLIN   
   but not yet EDIT.   
      
   I still used PC-Write for things that need to be printed, like reports for   
   university.  I could add things like page breaks and, IIRC, even some control   
   characters for my Star printer.  ;)
