That is alot to type. Perhaps have the possible invocations be:
Goto x y z
Goto x y
Goto z
Goto Relative x y z
Goto Relative x y
Goto Relative z
So the summary would be ([] indicate optional inclusion):
Goto [Relative] [x y] [z]

I will certainly give it a stab. :) I would like your aproval on the
syntax before I begin.
