 I'm a new forth programmer, no flames please! ;-)

 What's the best way to code things like xfer protocols that have
 goto's jumping from a case inside a while loop to some things
 back before the loop started?  Or go to one of several error exits?
 There is lots of stuff like that in the sz/rz programs.

 State machines?

 How do you get back out of some deeply nested things like longjmp() and
 setjmp() do from C?

 Thanks, dale
