<h2>Explanation</h2>
<p class="PlainText">The <span class="keyword_in_text">GOTO</span> command makes the BASIC Stamp execute the code that starts at the
specified <i>Address</i> location. The BASIC Stamp reads PBASIC code from
left-to-right, top-to-bottom, just like in the English language. The <span class="keyword_in_text">GOTO</span>command forces the BASIC Stamp to jump to another section of code.</p>
<p class="PlainText">A common use for <span class="keyword_in_text">GOTO</span> is to create endless loops; programs that repeat
a group of instructions over and over. For example:
</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
Hello:
DEBUG "Hi", CR
PAUSE 500
GOTO Hello
</pre>
<p class="PlainText">The above code will print "Hi" on the screen, over and over again. The
<span class="code_in_text">GOTO Hello</span> line simply tells it to go back to the code that begins with
the label Hello.</p>
