HEY, HERE'S ANOTHER ONE (oops, sorry for the uppercase - been telnetting to my AIIE)... I'm trying to learn ye olde basic - I'm finding this isn't working: [abstract example] 10 LNX = 1000 20 GOTO LNX [end abstract example] You can't use variables to denote line numbers!!?? PLEASE SAY IT AIN'T SO!! (now I'm actually screaming in incredulity).
There is not GOTO <variable> statement in Applesoft. And though one can be easily enough written as an extension, it raises the question: Why would one want such a construct? ON <variable> GOTO <statement number list> is provided, and is sufficient for most reasonably structured programs. What is the problem you are trying to solve with GOTO <variable>? -michael New Applesoft BASIC interface for NadaNet networking! Home page: http://members.aol.com/MJMahon/
