Even if you *do* count that as program output, you still have to count the
"L." too.

Even if the "L." was somehow masked with a VDU21, it would still not be 
the program code displaying itself, but an OS subroutine would be doing 
the hard work for me. I withdraw my entry forthwith and reserve the 
right to add another if I can work out how GOTO is tokenised. E5 
followed by what? ;-)
