[Coco] Basic09 question

[Bob Devries]

George,
were you thinking of the ON GOSUB command?
You can use that provided your choices are (a) numeric, and (b) sequential 
numbers.

INPUT "Choice:", answer
ON answer GOSUB 10, 20, 30

You can use ON GOTO also.

If your variable is not numeric, you can convert it using the SUBSTR 
command.

Page 11-100 of the BASIC09 manual for ON/GOSUB, and 11-164 for SUBSTR
