Branches to and returns from a subroutine.

GOSUB line1
.
.
.
RETURN [line2]

    ■ line1    The label or line number of the first line of the subroutine.
    ■ line2    The label or line number where the subroutine returns.

    ■ If you don't supply a label or line number for RETURN, the program
      continues execution at the statement following the GOSUB (for
      subroutine calls) or where an event occurred (for event handling).
      See the ◄ON► keyword for information about event-handling statements.
    ■ SUB and CALL statements provide a better alternative to GOSUB
      subroutines.

Example:
    FOR i% = 1 TO 20
        GOSUB Square
    NEXT i%
    END

    Square:
    PRINT i%, i% * i%
    RETURN
