 >> If I cannot code a GOTO or BRANCH command in version 5 of a language
when the other 4 versions supported GOTO then something has been removed.

Richard please re-read my (and Gary's) other posts - NO ONE IS TAKING GOTO
AWAY - it is just not supported in the free-format syntax.

I for one applaud that LOUDLY!  If I'm going to have to deal with code that
includes GOTOs I want the little buggers to stand out as much as possible.
Having them coded in fixed form in the middle of a free-form section does
that job beautifully (well beautiful is probbaly the woring word but ....
<grin>)
