Keywords: Structured Programming = NO GOTOs


	At present I am an undergraduate, from first year onwards
certain lecturers here, took the view that a program with a GOTO
in it, was a badly written program . After being out on industrial
placement, I formed my own view , which is 


	GOTO's in themselves do not lead to badly structured program,
	bad programmers write badly structured programs. In some
	cases use of the GOTO is quite simplely the best way of exiting
	from a mass of condition loops e.g whiles ... do,repeat..until 
	where you want to respond to something that is time-dependant,
	and cannot afford to wait to set exit flags and the like !!
