A Programmed GTO Instruction

The GTO label

instruction (press

label line number) transfers the execution of

a running program to the specified program line. The program continues running
from the new location, and never automatically returns to its point of origination, so
GTO is not used for subroutines.

For example, consider the "Curve Fitting" program in chapter 16. The  
instruction branches execution from any one of three independent initializing
routines to LBL Z, the routine that is the common entry point into the heart of the
program:

You can use

to move the program pointer to a specified label line number

without starting program execution.
