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

Hi,

Yes, I have to pre-initialize x (or whatever), that's the problem. I  
end up having to initialize the variable (or whatever) initially and  
then again inside the loop. In the this case it's trivial, but when  
the condition is more complex and when there are a lot of nested  
repeats it gets really messy.

All the Best
