You are right. I have a printed cope of the Turbo Pascal 6.0 Programmer's Guide and it says, 
confusingly, on page 16

	"The digIt sequence for a label must be in the range 0.9999"

and on page 8

	"A label is a digit sequence in the range 0.999".

but on page 9

	"As an extension to Standard Pascal, Turbo Pascal also allows identifiers to functions as labels.
