 		 #83633 - Look to VB
Responding to: ???'s previous message
OK, so I went to the BlueEarth webpage to find out how the labelless editing works, but found just a statement that is is a "modular format with symbolic labels and as many comments as you wish." So I still don't know how the labels are separated from text.


You could follow the lead of VisualBasic or QuickBasic from the early 90's. If you have a label then you essentially have a logical "subroutine." So you create a command called "Sub" followed by the name. The subroutine is then ended with "End sub"

So you get something like:

Save This Code
SUB Average
 A = B + C: A = A / 2
END SUB


Of course if you want to go the full QuickBasic/VB route then you can also have functions:

Save This Code
FUNCTION Average(B,C)
 Average = (B + C) / 2
END FUNCTION


Alternatively a label could be considered any non-recognized keyword at the start of a line followed immediately by a colon. That's what QuickBasic did when you wanted to use a label and do an ugly "goto" within a function or subroutine.
