True about rem!

10 PRINT"HI" ' COMMENT

...was the only good use :)

- I was proud of my Basic optimizing skills.

Carl England wrote an awesome compressor - strip out rem, pack lines, 
amazing. If 10 had a goto pointing to it but 20 and 30 did not, it would 
cram as much of 20 and 30 on the end of 10 - list could not handle it :) 
also rename by 1s. tons of tricks.

then I had a routine to make it a .BIN (loadm) with break disable and 
scrambling so it never looked like Basic! MiniBanners used it.
