Remember I use Linux and Windows10, not Windows11 so if I have $CONSOLE:ONLY at the top I have to use SYSTEM instead of END if I don't want the annoying "Press enter to continue" prompt and after I press [ENTER] the terminal does not clear.
Now I have to remember if I share my programs to not even bother with $CONSOLE:ONLY and to use END instead of SYSTEM, because apparently I'm the only one dealing with the prompt that END gives out.
Because this is a program that only outputs text, I put the $CONSOLE:ONLY to cut the executable file by about half. The executable then is about 650KB in size. If I left the SCREEN 0 in my program then the executable bloats to 1.2MiB more or less. Writing messages ending with "Press any key to continue" out of the usual screen derrived from QBasic is annoying to me if the program only creates text that goes to some output file.
