Can someone check?  thank you[flash=200,200] Logged Charles Childers Administrator Sr. Member Karma: +2/-0 Offline Posts: 745 Re: 8.2.4 win bug: repeat until « Reply #1 on: November 11, 2005, 05:03:05 PM » Until was removed in the 8.1 release. I found that I wasn't using it enough to keep in the core at that time. Do you think I should add it back?

Also, there was some confusion as to which type of loop (for/next or repeat/until) was "better".
