But can you GOTO out of a subroutine letting the subroutine reach the RETURN statement? Wouldn't that leave the return pointer stuck on the stack, leading to a memory leak? Or have I just written too much assembly?

Actually, that could explain a lot of things...

Wouldn't that leave the return pointer stuck on the stack, leading to a memory leak?I wrote lots of stuff that way, back in my Apple ][ days. Trivial stuff. It's sloppy programming, but it always worked. Maybe I was just lucky.
Actually, in the first draft of what I just posted, I had the GOTO line repeated after each RETURN, but I "tightened it up" in order to make the whole thing shorter so it wouldn't be a monster post. Not recommended.
