On the face of it this sounds reasonable, but please consider:
1) With the availability of IF_* and GOTO you can implement any type of loop
you want.
2) Most machines do not implement complex looping structures directly. The
machine-language supports tests/jumps and complex control structures are
implemented in high-level languages.
Think of SBBS as a CPU implemented in software, and then think of BAJA as the
machine-language of that CPU. What is needed is for someone (you?) to write a
high-level SBBS language that implements complex control structures and other
desireable features such as passing arguments to subroutines and returning
values from functions. That SBBS HLL could produce BAJA source code, or
perhaps generate .BIN files directly.
