How to Make an Infinite Loop Program in Basic
The Basic programming language is just that--basic. It uses commands and terms that make basic sense to just about anyone that would read them. It stands to reason, then, that even though it is considered by some an outdated language, it is still used to carry out very simple tasks. The most simple of Basic programs is the Infinite Loop. It demonstrates how the language works, and how a program in Basic is written.

Program your first command line. Make sure you are on a DOS operating system. Once you are, go to your C prompt and type in your first command line. This first line will be your text. This can be anything. If you want the line of text to be "hello," type in the following program line, then press return afterward: 10 Print "hello."

2
Program your second command line. This will be the line that creates the infinite loop. Type in the following program line, then press return afterward: 20 Goto 10.

A friend of mine has an infinite loop program start every time the computer is powered up. The title of the command line (though probably immaterial for this) is 1043612162 30488 26388 29784 24726. What is the best way to find and delete this program? Thank you in advance!
