Prallax newbe programming problems

I am trying to program a 2P 24 pin.

I have a program that would use gosub 50 times to call 1 of 3 subroutines frequently.
When debugging it reports "expected a label".
This is what i have:

gosub eject

.
.
.
.
eject:

If i read the doc correctly, i can only use gosub a few times. What can i substitute gosub with so as to run the subroutine and return to the same place in the program?



another problem i have - Can i put a "Do Loop while" inside another "do loop while" the program errored out with this.

lastly, if i do a if then,

if x=0
then
echo 1
echo 2
else
echo 3
if then only applies to the line echo1. it will read echo 2 every time. How do i get it to run everything if x=0??

Is there a website where people post code??

TIA

There is a maximum of 255 GOSUBs per program. If you get an "expected a label" message with fewer than that, you may have mis-spelled the label.

The IF statement is IF <expression THEN, so you'd write:

IF x = 0 THEN
  echo 1
  echo 2
ELSE
  echo 3
ENDIF

Remember to use the [ code ] and [ /code ] brackets as described here:
