Re: Is this the Free-Format that we asked for?

Sorry but I think you are wrong.  It can't jump "anywhere" it exits the
subroutine and goes back to where it was called from.  In this respect it
behaves just like a Return statement.  In other words when I see the
LEAVESR (which by the way I don't much like either) I _know_ what it is
going to do. This is what I meant by "langauge defined target" - perhaps I
should have said "effect" rather that "target".

GOTO is a _very_ different animal - it can go anywhere - I have to hunt to
determine its effect because all I know is that it will transfer control to
the label.
