   This only works in C-shell derivatives.  Type "goto <SomePassword>" and

   When you come back, type "<SomePassword>:" and RETURN.

Except that ^D breaks it (on a Sun):

   remora 104% csh
   remora 101% goto SomePassword
   ?
   ? foo:
   ? csh
   ? exit
   ? goto foo
   ?
   ? ^C^C^C
   ? ^Z^Z^Z
   ?
   ? ^DSomePassword: label not found.

   remora 102%
