   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.
