lol... We definitely need a guide to refracturing code. More seriously, a decent commentary on how to use goto "correctly" would be a nice thing to see. In my opinion, using it like REXX intends the signal statement to be used is fair. I can't at the moment recall much else that I'd normally write. Of course, signal in REXX is often as horribly misused as any regular goto.
