I believe you mean:
:Lbl X
:Disp "Except that classic TI Basic doesn't have line numbers,","only these annoying colons separate statements","Not to mention, there are only 27 vars and 37 labels..."
:Goto X
Also, there were 1369 possible labels. They could be two characters long and were alpha-numeric (had to be uppercase, though). That is, unless the TI-83+ has a different version of TI-Basic.
