Why didn't you think about your response before posting? Probably because you didn't make yourself quite clear. I was also responding to another point, namely the assignment of a label name to a variable. I didn't realize you had more than one label to goto. However, you could do multiple setjmp's with DIFFERENT jmp_buf's, possibly an array of them, and longjmp(jmp_buf[x],val). This is clearly absurd, but interesting for at least two seconds. BTW, which NPR do you listen to & where? I love WAMU in DC, lotsa bluegrass & jazz. WETA also carries the Grateful Dead concerts New Years Eve. Send me your FORTH interpreter when you're done, I'd like to play with it. jim */
