Something I liked about old school BASICs was the line numbering.  
This, in my opinion, was quite a clever (but primitive) way of having  
a combined editor and immediate mode. A line number prefix signifies  
that you're setting or amending a line. Without the prefix, a line is  
evaluated immediately.

:) Not sure that's a gem though.
