Oh God, the bad memories this brings back....:-(

Pseudo code;

start of crappy basic program
for x = 1 to <some.big.number>
        do something sensible here <I assume flag is set in here)
        if flag = 1
                exit
        else
        endif
next x
crappy basic program continues, with flag = 1


Not pretty, but you get the idea....
