It could be helpfull, but I find that my penchant for doing incrementals is often thwarted by using the wrong ge/gt/le/lt statement in a while test is an even bigger killer. I once left such a test loading overnight, thinking that it would have overflowed or wrapped by morning. No such luck and I regretfully hit the reset button and rebooted. My stupidity, yes. But it seems the scanner should detect that and upchuck with an error message calling attention to the stupidity. > In the longer term, what about tweaking the interpreter code to only > look forwards for the first matching "endrepeat"?
