I don't see the benefit of goto here. If your code is properly modularized, displaying the mission menu amounts to a single function call, so jumping around with goto doesn't really buy you anything. I'd conclude that you should refactor before considering a solution with goto.

goto is in the Linux source code. That should be modern enough! Here's a quote from Linus: [I][INDENT]I think goto's are fine, and they are often more readable than large amounts of indentation.

So Ed prefers flaggy code to do something that is straight-forward?
