<p><big>Verbose syntax</big></p>
<p>When Lingo was created, a verbose syntax was designed to mimic spoken language, so it would be easy for new users. Users could write <a href="page.php?w=HyperTalk">HyperTalk</a>-like sentences such as:<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript"> if the visibility of sprite 5 then go to the frame</syntaxhighlight>In go to statements, the "to" is optional, and unlike other programming languages, go statements reference frames in Director's Score, not specific code lines.</p>
