   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.
