I wish we had a do ... repeat statement!!!

Hi,

I've just finished coding one of the most complicated multiple loops  
I've ever had to do! I must say that the amount of code that I had to  
write could have been cut down quite a lot if RunRev had a do <this>  
repeat while statement.

In C the syntax is:

while (x > 0)
    {
    do these statements
    }

Which in RunRev is roughly equivalent to:

repeat while x > 0
    do these statements
end repeat

But C also has this structure:

do
    {
    do these statements
    }
while (x > 0)

which AFAIK doesn't have a RunRev equivalent.

Would be so nice to have something like:


dorepeat

    do these statements

dorepeat while x > 0

So whatever syntax works better!

All the Best
Dave
