                            The line numbering takes me way further back than VB.Net, all the way to Commodore 64 (and as you know, I'm in a nostalgic mood today :laugh:) :thumbsup:

                              In VB3 you could use optional line numbers. We had a doofus who would put them in as it 'helped with debugging'. We had him humanely destroyed.

                                You can still do that (use line numbers, that is) - I just checked in my VS 2015. Not only for VB, even for C#! :~ Tools / Options / Text Editor / Basic (or C#) - And there it is: The Line numbers checkbox :laugh:

                                    You can still use line numbers in the latest version of VB.NET:

                                    10: Dim i As Integer = 1
                                    20: Console.WriteLine("Nope")
                                    30: If i < 10 Then
                                    40: i += 1
                                    50: Goto 20
                                    60: End If

                                      The line numbering takes me way further back than VB.Net, all the way to Commodore 64 (and as you know, I'm in a nostalgic mood today :laugh:) :thumbsup:

                                      Ah, yes... line numbering... and then you realize you need a chunk of code in the middle and no line numbers are left. That created a need for a program that could renumber your code. Fondly remembered...

                                        IIRC most, if not all, BASIC systems supported a RENUM command.

                                          Missing in Commodore BASIC and C-64 BASIC which was an even older version of Commodore BASIC. Commodore BASIC had decent garbage handling; C-64.. not so much.
