    GOTO(I)                      3/15/72                      GOTO(I)

    NAME
         goto  -  command transfer

    SYNOPSIS
         goto label

    DESCRIPTION
         Goto  is allowed only when the Shell is taking commands from
         a file.  The file is searched from the beginning for a  line
         beginning  with  `:' followed by one or more spaces followed
         by the label.  If such a line is found, the goto command re-
         turns.  Since the read pointer in the command file points to
         the line after the label, the effect is to cause  the  Shell
         to transfer to the labelled line.

         `:' is a do-nothing command that is ignored by the Shell and
         only serves to place a label.
