It's a workaround Big Grin No MS BASIC compiler accepts the ?, for some reason. The QB IDE from v. 4.0 onwards made the change as they included "on the fly" syntax checking.

Most BASIC interpreters in old computers, though, accept the ? for PRINT. It doesn't get changed, it remains being ? in the code.

MSX BASIC code can be really ugly:

Code:
10CLS:?"WHAT'S YOUR NAME";:INPUTNAME$:IFNAME$=""THEN10
