   Note that, in the olden days (COMMAND.COM), you had to do this yourself -   
   brute force.  I often coded it like:   
      
   if %1X==L10X goto L10   
   echo main routine - Now calling L10 routine...   
   %0 L10   
   goto the_end   
   :L10   
   echo here we are in L10 subroutinue...   
   :the_end   
      
   I assume that the powers that be at MS noticed that people were doing this   
   sort of thing, so they codified it into the language (in CMD.EXE versions   
   of the batch language).
