I just learn that RETURN can take a label as argument.

:facepalm:, If I knew this earlier.

Imagine a BASIC program where you actually understand the execution flow. Nobody wants that! ;P

don't try this at home:

sub ga
  'bu id local to ga
  bu$="gabu"
  print "bu$",bu$
  gosub zome
  print "bu$",bu$
end sub

call ga
end

zome:
  'bu isn't declare, but scope is conserved during call
  mid$(bu$,0,4)="zome"
  return
