Description

Gosub using variable fails. (related to bug #28)
The result is a syntax error.

#manifest: "pc"
#splashScreen: false
#speed: "safe"
#fps: false

X=20

Gosub X

End

20 Print "line 20"
Return

This also fails when using labels:

#manifest: "pc"
#splashScreen: false
#speed: "safe"
#fps: false

X=20
X$="MyLabel"
Gosub X$
End

MyLabel:
Print "My Label"
Return

NOTE: In both cases, you can work around this bug by putting the expression within parentheses, but this should NOT be required. Any valid expression should be allowed.
NOTE2: This was also a bug in AMOOS Pro (for numerics). String expressions weren't a problem in AMOS Pro (but they are in AOZ!).

Here's the syntax description from the manual... as it should be:

GOSUB
structure: jump to a sub-routine
Gosub label
Gosub number
Gosub expression

NOTE that there are NO parentheses in the syntax!
NOTE also that string labels are NOT case-sensitive!
