Laser 128 - Goto

3.17 GOTO
Purpose:
BASIC COMMANDS AND STATEMENTS
To direct the program flow to
another part of the BASIC
program.
Format: GOTO linenumber
Comments: GOTO takes your BASIC
program out of its normal
sequence - one line following
the other and continues
execution at a point either many
lines ahead, or man y lines
behind the line containing the
GOTO.
If the line the GOTO refers to
is a REMark or DAT A line -
which is not executable, then
the instruction executed is the
next executable line after
linenumber.
GOTO can be very handy in
debugging programs. You can
use it in direct mode to enter a
program at a certain point,
rather than having the program
run through from its beg inning.
