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







NAME

     goto  -  command transfer



SYNOPSIS

     goto label



DESCRIPTION

     Goto is only allowed 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

     returns.  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.
