To the best of my knowledge, the QL didn't run Sinclair BASIC, and Sinclair

The QL ran something called QDOS, which was essentially BASIC.  But
one way it differed from the ZX and Spectrum series was
that the BASIC keywords were manually typed instead of entered
by single-strokes (on the ZX and Spectrums).

I don't recall which of the BASICS (if any or all) allowed
multiple statement lines.  I'd have to dig out my manuals
but I agree that it probably rules out the ZX80/81 series.
