however, where does one find this stuff? I looked in the HELP files for
V8, the online help files for V8 and help files for version 7 , yet I do
Good Question... I looked all the way back to RB45 help file and can't
find it either. I can only suppose it's a DNA thing... ;-)
No Really, I'm sure it's something undocumented that's been around for a

not see CONTINUE listed as a parameter any where. Continue is listed in
help as a While Loop function.
Thanks again.
-Bob
