This is going to sound like such a stupid question -- is there an OS/2
implementation of INTERCAL? I've *always* wanted to try it. I mean, it has
such great possibilites; you could spawn new threads by having several
comefroms from the same label, for example. I hadn't come across
ReturnFromOtherFunction() though, how does that work? Pass the return value
of a different function?

Andrew.
