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.
