I think I am seeing more detail here.

I can still see using subroutines, but in a very limited case.  Let's say 
5 lines or less - no use of variables that would better served by a local 
variable.  Or if you wanted a return to leave the program and not just the 
subprocedure.  (I bet that some would consider trying to duplicate that 
within a subprocedure a violation of structured programming.)
And I can tolerate mixing subprocedures and subroutines.

What I would recommend to someone new to subprocedures is NOT to use a 
subroutine for 3 months - use a subprocedure.  Regardless of whether or 
not you perceive that it would be easier, clearer, etc.  Until the three 
months are over, you don't have enough experience to make an informed 
decision.
