Ha, yeah GOTO statements are littered throughout the code I have to maintain. And, yes RMB was developed for automating test setups. Developed by Hewlett-Packard decades ago when they were still in the business of manufacturing test equipment for RF/microwave system testing.

Wow! I use a flavor of BASIC called Rocky Mountain BASIC on an HP UNIX workstation for my job. At first, I was absolutely miserable that I was wasting my time trying to learn this ancient language, but I have learned to appreciate it more because of its historical significance. I'll definitely be checking out EndBASIC.
