Let hasn't been required since Dartmouth BASICs. It was one of the very first
optional keywords. I'm pretty sure the very earliest GW/IBM BASICs allowed it to be
omitted. Yep! As is becoming the typical case here, I'm right and you're just
making shxt up. The following code is from ALPHABET.BAS, dated 04/08/1982, which
shipped with IBM PC BASIC v1.00 -- take a look at lines 90, 110, etc:

1 WIDTH 80
2 KEY OFF: CLS : GOTO 20000
3 CLS
5 CLEAR 100
10 DIM A$(13), D$(13), C$(13)
20 DATA EGG, CELERY, BALL,BAG,GLOVE,COAT
30 DATA PANTS, SUIT,CLOVER, WEED, GRASS
40 DATA COW, CHICKEN
50 FOR J=1 TO 13
60 READ A$(J)
70 NEXT J
80 FOR K=1 TO 13
90 L=1
100 FOR J=1 TO 13
110 E=0
120 FOR M=1 TO 13
130 IF A$(J) = C$(M) THEN E=1
140 NEXT M
150 IF E=0 THEN 160 ELSE 200
160 D$(L) = A$(J)
170 L=L+1
200 NEXT J
210 B$ = D$(1)
220 FOR L=1 TO 13-K+1
230 IF D$(L) < B$ THEN 250 ELSE 300
250 B$ = D$(L)
300 NEXT L
400 C$(K) = B$
410 NEXT K
500 FOR K=1 TO 13
510 PRINT C$(K)
520 NEXT K
600 END

Make you a deal, Scotty. You be a good little troll and go away and play
somewhere else and I'll pretend that you're not a troll at all.
