honestly, you are using it 'properly' as far as syntax and everything is concerned.. but..

if you read up on the goto from BASIC, that command has been shunned since then..

I don't really know this forums policies for posting links to other sites, but you can find more information by searching for goto and C++..

there is some information on this site: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/control/ then CTRL+ F and goto.. he explains more about it

if you do use it, just to get the satisfaction of getting a working program, like I will do sometimes, just know that you should change that as its not suggested.

If you really want an example of how to use goto, look at this:

for(int i = 0; i < some_value; ++i) {
    for(int j = i; j < some_value+5; ++j) {
        for(std::vector<unsigned int>::iterator k = some_vec.begin(); k != some_vec.end(); ++k) {
            if(j == i && *k > 10 && k < j+i) goto get_me_out_of_here;
        }
    }
}
get_me_out_of_here://... 

In that kind of case I would suggest using goto instead of cluttering your code up with a bunch of if(/*...*/) break;

I thought goto could only go backwards in the code.

goto lets you go wherever you want, even letting you do evil things:

void evil_func() {
evil_goto:
    return; //Uh oh
}

int main() {
    goto evil_goto;
    return 0;
}

I stand corrected.

Not quite :P For non local jumps you need this -> http://cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/csetjmp/

EDIT: example -> http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/chapter9/nonlocal_jumps.html
