How about this:

10 GOTO 1000


But seriously... Assuming you want to GOTO a different line depending on
the value of LNX then you might be able to do what you want with 

ON LNX GOTO 1000,2000,3000

Which works like this: if LNX=1 then the program will GOTO 1000... if
LNX=2 then it will GOTO 2000 etc.

Also worth noting is that only the first two characters in a variable
name are used by Applesoft, so LNX and LNY would be the same.
