I love it when folks use a loop to add up vm's. And not the simple Sum command. Seen that a bit in the code I work in.
Goto's never bother me. I came from a 4GL language called Ezgen, and it only had GO'tos. Had no such thing as gosub. The only way to do a gosub type is to make it a called program. We did that for routines that are used multiple times, no gosubs. I am getting out of the habit and only use go-tos' when I really feel there is cause. Took a bit though :). Thanks, Marilyn A.
