    do label iteration_variable= starting value, ending value
[,                                                             
increment]
      statements to be looped
label last statement to be looped (usually continue)

so   do 100 k=2, n
     ...
100  continue

means loop statements in the ... place the number of times needed to k
to go from 2 to n (with increment 1)
each time k (the loop variable) is used in the loop, it takes its
current value (2, 3, .., n)

goto 120 is a way to jump out of the loop, control resuming at the
statement labelled 120.

goto's after an if seems quite clear, and in old code is used as a quick
and dirt way to skip some instructions (like old BASIC).

goto to the end of a loop is a way to jump to the end of a loop (usually
a continue) skipping some loop statement but remaining inside the loop.

Hoping this helps
