I've considered adding (back) logo goto for several reasons. 1) To show new programmers how NOT to write code. 2) To help handle other logo source code (namely LSRHS [MSWLOGO 2.4 & older]). 3) Goto's are great for writing state machines. I must agree with the last reply personally. I've seen some of the finest code that used GOTO's like crazy and seen a lot of bad code with modern constructs. I must admit coverting over the DEMO (which had a bunch of goto's was trivial). Probably because it was decent code (goto or no goto :-)). I don't want to "tarnish" UCBLOGO's name and I value your opinion and Brian's very heavily. I could make it some sort of "Install" option and maybe everyone would be happy.
