I'm assuming you would not allow jumps INTO looped code.

Karl made the goto available for you in his interpeter.
I don't see any edvidence of you using it.
Maybe you shouldn't complain that it is it's not available.

Actually, the only thing I'd ever use goto for is to bust out of nested
loops. Other than that, I don't like it...

Correct. Personally, i wouldn't. However, it should also be possible for the
jump into a loop to simply ignore the end loop line and fall thru it, and not
try
to loop. But this would be a questionable coding style.

Kat, I'd suggest adding something like this in the "About" window of your
next application:
"Kat's New Chatterbot v1.0
Now using 34 GOTO statements!"
so everyone can tell. Not everyone is as adept as Bernie is about knowing
what statements you use in your code.

Excuse me, but the request was made for a change in Eu, which Robert
says he won't make, so i pointed to the goto in Karl's interpreter. What
evidence of the use of goto would you like to see? I won't have electricity or
running water or heat tonight, but i can use the flashlight to write on paper
and email it back tomorrow.

Java uses labeled breaks. In java loops are labeled, a "continue" like
statement for Euphoria would be nice too (also using labels).
So much for keeping Euphoria very simple. :)
