                      4: .sh SYNOPSIS
                      5: .bd goto
                      6: label
                      7: .sh DESCRIPTION
                      8: .it Goto
                      9: is only allowed when the Shell
                     10: is taking commands from a file.
                     11: The file is searched from the beginning
                     12: for a line beginning with `:' followed by one
                     13: or more spaces followed by
                     14: the
                     15: .it label.
                     16: If such a line is found, the
                     17: .it goto
                     18: command returns.
                     19: Since the read pointer in the command file points to the
                     20: line after the label,
                     21: the effect is to cause the Shell to transfer to the
                     22: labelled line.
                     23: .s3
                     24: `:' is a do-nothing
                     25: command that is ignored by the Shell and only serves to place a label.
                     26: .sh "SEE ALSO"
                     27: sh(I)
