I did know the difference, but I didn't realise it ran one line at a time! I had kind of assumed it at least did one pass through everything before giving output. Thanks.

I believe it does "one pass" when it loads the code into ram, because syntax errors can be caught before anything runs. But I think the actual interpretation happens pretty much one line at a time :)
