And the compiler also supports the Extended Pascal TO BEGIN DO and TO END DO statements.  TO BEGIN DO is just the same as [INITIALIZE] but allows any statement.  TO END DO is an exit handler (registered with an initialization routine).

Good question.  Extended Pascal says only MODULEs so we just didn't think about allowing them in PROGRAMs even though we allow [INITIALIZE].
