Like with Rocky Mountain BASIC of HP 9000 machines in contrast to the MS-BASIC of my VIC-20. > Even the most primitive Unix Bourne shell (sh) has no GOTO command. I was never a fan of Dijkstra's "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" and perceive modern spaghetti inheritence as more obscure than any goto noodling. This paragraph in Linux docs comprehensively shows why C still has its goto: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.0/process/coding-style.html "7) Centralized exiting of functions" Have a nice day :) Thomas
