      Hi,              I found something odd today in the powerful CBM BASIC v2.0.              Having worked with Sinclair BASIC quite a lot recently, I use GOTO X where X is        a valid line number (i.e., LET X = 100). But I know that's not possible with       Microsoft BASIC. Of course there is the ON X GO TO 100,200 ...              So I thought "I know, I'll try and use a function, could CBM BASIC use this as       a look up table". The following, I expected to go to the value in the function       A() which returns 10, but...              0 DEF FN A(X) = 10       1 PRINT FN A(0)       2 GO TO FN A(0)       3 PRINT "END GRACEFULLY"       4 END       10 PRINT "STOP"       11 STOP              Try it for yourself. What's going on here?              Thanks in advance.              Shaun.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: SpaceSST BBS Usenet |
