Most of us haven't gotten past kindergarden; we don't always share our
toys and hit one another. <cackles> Like you, we're working on getting
better. And ole Jim C. there was just pulling your leg, geek style. A
"goto" is an old line numbered Basic function. Not used anymore and I
truly regret it. I got left in the dirt when they dropped the line
numbers! Merry Xmas Jim. Ric
goto was also used in COBOL before "perform x thru y" became the common
way of
coding the procedure division. I think it's also used in fortran as well.
