Description:
         The "break" and "continue" commands can be used within
         a "for", "while, "until", or "select" loop.  The "info"
         documentation correction mentions this, but "help break"
         "help continue" do not.  The error message when "break"
         or "continue" is invoked outside a loop also doesn't
         mention "select".

Thanks for the report. I suppose it's because `select' is an optional
feature, though it's included by default.
