Using the Debug feature
#5
A vid would be nice to have up again. Also, I like the option to have the watch list sent to the console. Honestly the debug ability in QBasic was great, but that was interpreter. Still, QuickBASIC and PDS, which were QBasic with some added bells and whistles and the ability to make stand-alone exe files, could still be run in interpreter mode.

These days I just use a variable "betatest%" to show PRINT statements containing variables, values, and to help explain what is going on behind the scenes. If the betatest% variable is set, those print statements appear as the program runs and sleep when appropriate. If the variable is zero, no reporting is done during a program run.
