You never CALL

It's almost as old-fashioned as using LET.

Well now I feel old and no longer want pudding. All I can say is, don't LET the CD-Tray hit you in the ASCII on the way _OFFSET! Big Grin

When I don't use CALL as an identifier, I sometimes place a blank space between a sub or function call, or a gosub statement. When I see a break in the lines of code, I know the flow is branching off to another routine. It's sort of a vertical identifier, much as indentation helps to identify conditional statements and loops.

CALL OBSOLETE (Wasn't that an MS-DOS routine?)
