I probably would take it to the extreme and simply include the 3 or 4 lines that
the function would do right inside of the loop and use the new 4.0 features to
exit which ever loop I wished. One thing is for sure, most of the programs I
write have zero global variables. Once in a while I'll do something dirty in
utility type apps and have a global database handle or something.
