If you really have condition1=0, i.e. False,
then you *must* to say :

if not condition1 then exit end if

to get 1, Truth, and exit loop.

But rand(10) is Truth anyway, these numbers 
are from 1 to 10, so if you'll say:

if not condition1 then exit end if

then you get just zeros, False, 
and your loop is ***infinite***.

Do not play with infinite loops ! :-[

Read the manual, refman.doc or refman.htm !

Good Luck With Good Loops !
