In my later Basic years I used APBasic (Advance Point I think) which had
a lot more commands available than any other Basic I ever tried and
you had the option of using line numbers or labels for GOTO statements.
Plus the finished product could be compiled into an EXE program..

I think there is a newer program with the same name if you did a search
online. The original is from the late 80's and is a true DOS program..
