Right! Any chance of getting GOSUB and RETURN?

Hmm. It's your program, and you should definitely use it the way your want.
But I've always preferred DO ... LOOP over WHILE ... WEND. It's partly because
DO ... LOOP can be either WHILE or UNTIL (avoiding weird negative tests) and
because WEND is just an odd keyword. Where is the program wending to?
(Actually, it took me about two years to realize that WEND was a real word, not
just a strange abbreviation).
