Editing is not the point. If you want to check the BASIC file into a 
version control system, it needs to be plain text, otherwise you lose 
most of the benefits of such a system. It is not practicable to 
manually convert the file to/from text format all the time, so it is 
really best stored in plain text, even more so as BASIC is happy 
enough to execute plain text files - provided they do not have too 
many lines and cause the line number range to be exceeded when 
renumbered with the default renumbering step of 10, which brings us to 
the original topic of this thread. I have been using a patched version 
of BASIC with a default renumbering step of 1 (as described by John 
earlier in this thread) for a long time to be able to run version 
controlled plain text BASIC files.
