[R] R equivalent to Fortran, GAUSS, or Perl's goto

2005-08-10 Thread Warren Lamboy 
Does R have something equivalent to the goto in Perl?
If so, can you please tell me what it is?  I cannot find
it in the Ref Manual or the Language Manual.

Thanks.

What was true in 1968 is still true now:

Of course Perl has one, but then in Perl there's always more than one 
way to shoot yourself in the foot.

Does that mean the answer to my first question is No?
