                     10: DESCRIPTION    goto____
                     11: is only allowed when the Shell
                     12: is taking commands from a file.
                     13: The file is searched (from the beginning)
                     14: for a line beginning with ":" followed by one
                     15: or more spaces followed by
                     16: the label_____.
                     17: If such a line is found, the goto____ command returns.
                     18: Since the read pointer in the command file points to the
                     19: line after the label,
                     20: the effect is to cause the Shell to transfer to the
                     21: labelled line.
                     22: 
                     23: ":" is a do-nothing
                     24: command that only serves to place a label.
