Carson, Executable code outside of a subroutine, while not recognized
by some, is actually quite common.

Take the C language for example:

It will allow one to initialize a variable outside of code.

int a = 1;

In order to do this initialization, code has to
execute that assignment statement.

But what you are actually utilizing is a feature of the
Ver6 compiler where it can handle multiple syntax models.

And as much as I dislike it... the older GWBasic models will
in fact allow real code to be placed outside the code blocks. In
fact, the older GWBasic languages didn't even have code blocks.

Anyway, the Ver 6 compiler supports that syntax model, so it allows
it.
