You don't really which BASIC this is, ie, the BASIC that comes with DOS,
QuickBASIC or MS BASIC Compiler.

If you are using the BASIC that comes with DOS, I'm afraid that I can't
help as I use the QuickBASIC version of BASIC.  If so, I would suggest
getting your hands on QuickBASIC.  It is MUCH better than the BASIC that
comes with DOS.  It doesn't need line numbers, has many more commands to
help you with more things, can be compiled into stand-alone code and has
its own built-in editor (works with the mouse).  You can get it mail order
for around $69.00.  A very cheap and very good product.

If you have QuickBASIC, version 1.10, you need to get upgraded to 4.5.
