    USR x actually returns a value, which you can print out using PRINT USR x, or store in a variable LET y = USR x, etc. If you don't care about the return value then RANDOMIZE USR x usually does the job very well. :)

    I always wondered why RUN USR x wasn't used ? It seems to work just as well as RANDOMIZE USR x and it makes more sense too :) (Thats for routines that don't actually return to basic ofcourse ;-) which is 99% of all the cases where USR is used anyway)

    128K Basic can use USR alone. Remember USR 0, which does not need RANDOMIZE or PRINT.
    EXECUTE is not a good keyword, I would use CALL as it is present in other BASIC dialects.
