GOTO was very easy to program. :o)
A little more seriously now: I think it belongs to the BASIC-like syntax I have chosen. Especially in IF statements.
Anyway, noone is forced to [ab]use it.
I don't think WHILE-WEND will be too hard to code, and it will pobably be added soon. I've never liked the DO syntax, it
makes me uncertain of what the code means. (But that's my opinion.) If I add WHILE-WEND to the already existing
FOR-TO-STEP-NEXT loop possibilities, I think most situations in part creation will be covered up. Or...?


Thanks for your comments,
/Tore

Reasoning for GOTO?
GOTO is a construct which can very easily be abused.
better to have "proper" strcutures likw while-DO, repeat-until etc.
