GOSUB within functions?

The manual says it can't be used, but it seems to work fine for me? Is it referring to something else, or is the wording there a bit messed up?

Even if it works now, your really shouldn't be mixing GOSUB and functions, just use functions.

This came up because I wanted to see if I could use ON within functions. I ended up going with GOTO anyways, but in either case... Well, I'm not sure if my speed test thing is accurate... but as far as I know, both GOSUB and GOTO with the ON instruction are faster than:

DEF THING CTRL

IF CTRL==0 THEN FUNC1

IF CTRL==1 THEN FUNC2

IF CTRL==2 THEN FUNC3

IF CTRL==3 THEN FUNC4

You could use ELSEIF for that But ON/GOTO/GOSUB is slightly faster Even without GOSUB, you can use another GOTO instead of RETURN:

DEF THING CTRL
 VAR X
 ON CTRL GOTO @0,@1,@2,@3
 @RET
 PRINT X
 RETURN
 @0
  X=0
 GOTO @RET
 @1
    ...
END

But you should only do this in extreme circumstances when you need a tiny bit more speed (the speed difference between this and ON GOSUB is very small)
