This is what "Does Not Work" mean:
Running your example:
$ /tmp/test-csh-goto
foo
well, you seem to be an experienced user, so I might be wrong and I
apologize in advance. This error message:
/tmp/test-csh-goto[21]: goto: not found [No such file or directory]
it looks like an error message thrown by ksh and not by csh. So if you
had run my script with the shebang line #!/bin/csh you might want to
check if /bin/csh is really a csh on your system.
Good luck
