Is this a bug or does the fact that you are not allowed to return from a GOSUB from within a select-case have a valid reason?

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 0

test=1
gosub testjump

do
set cursor 0,0
print "you should see this, but you won't"
sync
loop

testjump:

select test
 case 1:return:endcase
endselect

do
set cursor 0,0
print "can't return from within a select case"
sync
loop

thnx

return is best placed on a line on it's own, like this:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 0

test=1
gosub testjump

do
set cursor 0,0
print "you should see this, and you will :)"
sync
loop

testjump:

select test
 case 1
  return
 endcase
endselect

do
set cursor 0,0
print "can't return from within a select case"
sync
loop

...or if you like, make spaces either side of the command seperator.
