I thought so.      ^^^^^^^^^^ Sounds semi-familar, was he running a BBS 
in 805 in the last year?

Yeah. Like that EBBS that came on the PB/XTRA disk, it was okay to 
compile, but a real pain to mod.

I generally use GOSUB only for error/event handlers (Why can't they add 
subs?) and GOTO only for REALLY complicated looping if/then structures 
(like what I got in my project for trig, which suffered from 
"Just-one-more-feature"-itis)
