Why not use QBasic? Sure, it has additional capabilities which you may
get to like, but it *can* be used just like a 1980-style BASIC, with
line numbers, GOSUBs, GOTOs, etc., etc..

And you need never go into the IDE to use it.
What was the command line to run?
qbasic /r file.bas or qbasic /run file.bas?

Well, considering that:
The following QuickBasic keywords are not supported in QBasic:
ALIAS EVENT LOCAL SETMEM
BYVAL $INCLUDE SADD SIGNAL
CDECL Int86 Interrupt UEVENT
COMMAND$ Int86X InterruptX
It's not suprising. :-)

The help file is wrong about one of those. SADD really
is supported in QBasic.
