   Just be aware that the stack is limited for both LOGO, Applesoft and ML.  It   
   only has a 256 byte range.  Meaning each recursion puts 2-bytes on the stack   
   for ML whereas each GOSUB will put 5 bytes on the stack.  Unsure what LOGO   
   pushes on the stack.   
      
   For assembly, instead of using the GOSUB 1010 in line 1030, it would be "JSR   
   address" of where in memory line 1010 started.
