Hi, Rob,

But how about a "loop" (or,  as some call it, "continue")  to conditionally
return to the beginning of a loop from any
point within?  I guess some would call this a 'goto', but if it is, it's a
controlled goto, one which I would find quite
useful. Given that we have, in Euphoria, an 'exit' statement, how about the
reverse?

How say ye?

Regards  (and thanks for Euphoria!)

Jim
