It's what software testers call a test. ;)

It isolates the issue to the fewest lines of code needed to demonstrate 
the issue.

It would be great to remember to never put an answer dialog in an 
untested loop, and to inform newcomers that they need to use the answer 
and ask dialogs with great care to avoid any circumstances which might 
call them repeatedly.

But in our imperfect world I see questions about how to cancel out of 
such loops from time to time, and even manage to have a "D'oh!" moment 
myself when I forget to treat LC more delicately than other xTalks I've 
used.

What is it about LC that makes safely exiting with Ctrl-. harder here 
than in other xTalks?
