   Hello All!   
      
   Icymi, using GOTO without a label in a subroutine has the   
   side-effect of executing any following commands on the same line in   
   caller context. Dave Benham explored this undocumented behaviour in   
   this DosTips topic:   
      
   https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6497   
      
   and used it to create a kind of primitive exception handling for   
   Batch files.   
      
   HNY!
