This is how I emulate continue too.

integer Continuing

Continuing = 1
while Continuing do
    Continuing = 0
    -- here's the real loop
    while whatever do
       <do something>
       if <test for continuance> then
          Continuing = 1
          exit
       end if
       <do something else>
    end while
end while

unfortunately goto cannot be so easily emulated without massive code
reorganisation.
