I'm about to start compiling and linking program modules under Linux. I
previously did this under Windows and used a batch file. I want to do the
same in Linux but the absence of a goto stastement has thrown me a bit.

This is what happens under Windows

The batch file is called by one of three switches:

edit
compile and link
run (in debug mode).

If 'edit is chosen, all three processes will be run. If 'run' is selected
only the last one is run. There is a pause between each process allowing
escape to the prompt, otherwise it goes back to the top again.

My problem is identifying how to construct an effective loop. Needless to
say, my script eforts so far have not required constructs of any kind!

TIA
