Throw in a lurker's two cents:

10 ?"{shift+clr/home}warm Regards"
20 fOi=1to18:?:nE:fOi=1to20:?" ";:nE
20 ?"CEEJAY"
40 ?:?"Re-coded by another Commodore 64":a$="Sailor Teddy Bear"
50 ?"Personal Computer enthusiast,"
60 fOx=1to22:fOi=1tox:?" ";:nEi
70 ?a$:?"{up-arrow}";:fOd=1to100:nEd:nEx
80 fOx=21to1step-1:fOi=1tox:?" ";:nEi
90 ?a$;" ":?"{up-arrow}";:fOd=1to100:nEd:nEx:gO60

(I forgot how to change from UC/graphics to LC/UC mode.)  Verified to
work even in Win64.  Compressed CBM Basic code is such a beautiful work
of art...

Wow!  The difference between writing C64 Basic and Vizhul Basic:  C=
programs work right on the first try, while Win programs never work
right.  ('Course, this comes from a die-hard Geos 2.0-64 user.  No GPF's
here...)

BTW, the quick and dirty way to do a locate in CBM Basic is as follows:

   PRINT "{clr/home}{down-arrows x times}{right-arrows y times}";

(Always use right-arrows because spaces erase.)  It never takes more
than 72 characters, plus the program line number, so it stays legal. 
Yeah, way OT, but like the subj. says: C64 PC's rule!

Hi! :) I'm a signature virus! Why don't you copy me into your sig file!
