Nice. First DOS I actually installed was Dos 6.22 and first one I worked on was DOS 5.0. Never actually used gwbasic, I was stuck on Commodore 64 until DOS 5.0.

DOS 5 is when edit and qbasic were introduced, after the DOS 4.0 failure.

Similar experience I was stuck with Timex 2068 until the 386SX kind of became affordable enough for leasing, however our school had computer labs, thus I did my typography lessons on MS-DOS 3.3, on nice 5.25" inch floppies.
