Ah, memories... (in this case my own :-)

If I remember correctly, someone used REM lines to store data or little pieces of machine code (often assembled by hand, with the table of the opcodes, counting the instructions to determine the width of a relative jump).  Then you run it (with USR?) and since you forgot a POP inside a subroutine the computer would reset...
