my bad typing the code into the forum. i left out the () (as dead_eye first noticed). i do make that typo error many times when coding.
i've never heard that one (that methods should return from one place) in my many years of C coding (since 1982). i can see how that would have encouraged the use of goto (C does have goto but i only used it it do dropout cleanups after errors).
