You’re welcome. BTW, I think You know that GOTO statemens are frowned upon...
They tend to produce spaghetti code.

I know, it is better to use GOSUB, but I think the program I “wrote” drives home the point. B-) I remember GOTO statements should be limited.

Yeah, BTW, I did find a program in TRS-80 BASIC that I've been searching for since high school (1982/85) a few days ago called "Hog Jowl Mansion" where I always wanted to type it into an Apple ][ series or even my TI-99/4A. My buddy had it for his TRS-80 Color Computer but he does not have the system anymore. We had lots of fum playing it. I'm also looking for another game that was fun then called "Venture" (NOT the video game, but that was fun too) where it was like a trail and it clocked your miles as yo go from encounter to encounter in the quest to save the Princess. You encounter goblins who may want any women you have, including the princess and if you turn her over, you are executed if you reach the end. Also other hazzards where monsters who you fight to the death, trolls, pits and the Dreaded Necromancer who takes your women and/or turns you into a "gelded water buffalo and driven into a pit" unless you're lucky enough to run. I remember playing this around 1982 or so on the Apple //e but it was typed in from a magazine. We had loads of laughs.
BTW, my buddy often used his Color Computer as a "transportable." He brought it to school many times in his backpack, the computer itself, a cassette recorder drive and a 5 inch B&W TV and this was like 1983.
