They _were_ very useful for isolating multiple-use code within a procedure, though.
The main advantage being no need to stuff the stack with a boatload of in-scope
variables. IOW, they were most definitely an optimization over separate subroutines
in cases where the code in question was only used from a single location.

You're telling the guy who reported that to MS during the VB4 beta. ;-)
