   Wyatt, you WAY OFF BASE on this for three reasons:   
      
   1. First, David **explicitly** stated it was a sub-routine.  (Emphasis added):   
   > Here is a BASIC **subroutine**   
      
   2. The LARGE line numbers, 6000 - 6090 are a BASIC idiom that it is   
   sub-routine.   
      
   3. The RETURN on line 6060 was your THIRD clue that it was a sub-routine.   
      
   Ignoring the evidence doesn't magically make it go away.

   Yes.  Yes, it does.   
      
   People post code snippets with the implicit understanding that any   
   half-competent programmer can figure out how to use them.  If you need help   
   with BASIC then ASK -- people are more then willing to help beginners out.    
   But flaming a 20+ year old post    
   because YOU are still a **naïve and beginner Applesoft programmer** just   
   makes you look like a complete tool / utter fool.   
      
   i.e. Next time lose the fucking attitude.
