[Coco] What BASIC09 needs is

[Wayne Campbell]

which would you prefer?

ON var GOTO 1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,6

or

SELECT var
  CASE <6: BREAK
  CASE <11: BREAK
  CASE <16: BREAK
  CASE <21: BREAK
  CASE <26: BREAK
  DEFAULT:
END SELECT

I would prefer the select syntax.

Wayne
