BASIC EXIT is similar to COBOL EXIT "structure type" (e.g. PARAGRAPH,
PERFORM, SECTION) except 'structure type' is optional; when "structure
type" is omitted EXIT exits the current loop structure regardless of its
type (FOR, DO, IF, TRY, FUNCTION, SUB, SELECT or WHILE).

Wow, now that one is, umm, interesting. :-)

Yes, the creators and maintainers of BASIC continue to invent new kinds of
rope with which the careless, lazy or sloppy may hang themselves!

I've always maintained well-written BASIC looks a lot like well-written
COBOL, whereas poorly-written BASIC looks like.. well, poorly-written BASIC.
