42S local label caching

Hello Werner,

On Emu42, I get the 'Global Span' error trying to add a single byte to a 3578-Byte Prgm containing 1789 NOT lines.
I was not going to do that on my real 42S ;-) So there, at least, is no difference with the 41.

If what you say is exact, EMU42 does not follow how the HP-42S is working.

As the posts above shows and as the HP-42S manuals said, on a real HP-42S, the short GTO can jump 127 bytes (2ˆ7-1) and the long GTO/XEQ can jump 4095 bytes. (2ˆ12-1).
