The GOSUB and GOTO approach

In older version 1.xx programs, many people used GOSUB and GOTO to jump from label to label to label. As any programmer knows, this can be a nightmare to follow, and a maintenance headache. In addition, it promotes a style of programming that is hard to debug and hard to document.

However, given the limitation of Superbase 1.xx at the time, it was sometimes necessary to use this style.

In addition, handling menu bar and icon bar operations required you to either use ON GOSUB, or the even worse ON GOTO statement in your program, makign it nearly impossible to follow.
