The GOTO habit that I've developed with QBasic hasn't left me. I find that
it's acually hard for me to code a simple looping program in Euphoria. Must
be me  I'll work over it.

Now with EuOS:

I am going to begin writing it in a day or so. There is still time to sign
up for the project, but once I begin, you can't join up until V1.2
