it never occurred to me, just tested it in QB for DOS and it works there also

Yep, leave it to me to stumble on yet another 1/2 ASCII way to code something!

I'm a bit bemused: why shouldn't it work? we can use words as labels, why not decimal numbers?

Too bad we can't use variables, that would get interesting! GOTO 1/3

I remember a couple old games which used this as an organization method. Was it Zork? Wizardry? The way it worked was by setting code sections into various number ranges.
Example:
Line 100.000 - 199.999 was character creation.
Line 200.000 - 299.999 was character level up + skill acquire
And so on.

I'd do that with ole GW Basic, map out programs with line numbers.
