I've made some cosmetic changes to the BBS and wanted also to announce a new
game server I've set up in a news bulletin that shows up at the first login a
user makes after I've implemented the script mods to start.v.  I ended up
with some duplication of effort due to a problem with GOSUB not working, or
I'm just missing a concept somewhere.  Here's how it's *supposed* to look:

CLS
if !68 <> "06242002" gosub readnews
sysinfo
lastcaller 10
clear
exit "kwikstrt"

readnews:
ef "C:\vadv\txt\news.mnu"
pause
pause "This message will not appear again once you press [Enter]"
let !68 = "06242002"
return

----
It won't work like this.  I have to use GOTO instead and put the stuff
following the if statement into the readnews block as well.  Does gosub not
work?  Or is there something I'm missing here?
