First, Thanks for the FAQ. It clears up a few things.

If QBASIC is a cut down QuickBASIC why does QB read GWBASIC files but not
QuickBASIC Files?

I am fairly new to NEWS, but to add to the argument being COMP.LANG.BASIC
may help the acceptance of BASIC as a "true" programming language now that
"proper subroutine calls" and structured programming are supported. In my
simple view (and I have done little FORTRAN lately) FORTRAN and BASIC have
moved toward common ground in some ways.
