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
Hehe. If you think its a deprecated function, just do a 'grep -R goto' in
the kernel tree, then feed it to wc -l to find out how many. I think
you'll be amazed.
And Merry Christmas, Ric.
