emulate subroutines?
“The GOSUB command may be used to emulate subroutines in a BASIC dialect that does not support subroutines in its syntax.” In what way is a callable group of statements that return to from whence they are called not a sub-routine? This remark seems to revolve around a strangely specialised (and, i suspect, very recent) meaning of “subroutine". The term did not originate with modular programming languages. —überRegenbogen (talk) 19:39, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
