MSX Basic had "RENUM" or some such, which would renumber all the lines to for instance 100, 110, 120 etc. It also automatically updated all GOTO and GOSUB. So if you ran that all the time, it was almost like line numbers in a text file, but with an extra manual "RENUM" chore thrown in.

This was standard in Microsoft BASICs.
