FreeBasic QB Mode

[primo]

if you want to use freebasic to run quick basic programs, you must add this '$lang: "qb" to the top of the code
yes there is " ' "
only '$lang: "qb" will work to enable QB mode albeit there are several suggestions in the forums but does not work
examples:
C:\FreeBASIC\examples\manual\control\gosub.bas

'' Compile with -lang qb
'$lang: "qb"
GoSub message
End
message:
Print "Welcome!"
dim s as string
input "press enter to exit ", s
Return

example 2:

'$lang: "qb"
DECLARE FUNCTION Add! (num1!, num2!)
PRINT Add(10, 7)
INPUT "Press ENTER to exit", C$

FUNCTION Add (num1, num2)
Add = num1 + num2
END FUNCTION

the above examples will work from within the fbide. but i can't make it to run from inside thinbasic #Compiled #Endcompiled . thinbasic seems confused by the '$lang: "qb"

example 3:
caesar cipher CIPHER1.BAS from page 46 of the book Learn Encryption Techniques with BASIC and C++ ( 1998 ) the basic examples are for QB with many nice Goto and Gosub functions.
