Hey Rob!
Thanks for your rely. I understand totally - It's great to have GWBASIC again on my Linux Box.

Subject: Re: [robhagemans/pcbasic] Arrange for the interpreter to ignore the #! in the first line (Discussion #216)
Hi, thanks for the suggestion - I don't think I'll implement this though, for a few reasons
* it breaks compatibility with GW-BASIC - any program not starting with a line number should fail with a Direct statement in file
* the shebang line is for shell-scripts, and the GW-BASIC language is really quite unsuitable for shell scripting
* it's a bit of a niche, OS-specific feature, which means it's a pain for documentation, support and maintenance

If somehow the interpreter would ignore #!
which pcbasicas the first line - PC basic programs would become click launchable. On should then be able to just find MYPROG.BAS in the file manager of one's choice and double click it - pcbasic launches with the MYPROG.BAS as a command line argument, and the basic program there in runs. If the basic program ends with a SYSTEM statement, then the app becomes just like any other app on that Linux box.When saving a program it should add that #! above.
