Has anyone found a use for that damned Immediate section at the bottom of Qbasic?

I think you can do some weird stuff to mess around with the IDE, but that's from my "old foggy days" memory. I have no idea how to do anything with it.
am an asshole. Get used to it.

Personally, I use it in debugging, and, IMHO, it's proven pretty useful. Whenever the program breaks from a runtime error, I can use it to print out variables or run some code to correct the program.

I realize you can do the former other ways, but the latter is sometimes invaluable.

Whenever I need to do some math that I don't feel like doing in my head, I just use, for example, PRINT 175/13 in the Immediate section.
And, of course, the same stuff as RST mentioned.

You can use it to find out the value of variables when you get an error, so you can see what happened.
