Hi Jim,

Funny you mention that this would bring VFP in-line with other languages. I* was swapping some private messages with Craig B. and mentioned that I'd like to see a post-test iteration structure and VFP not having one where other languages do. Might seem a bit silly since we can emulate one, but after reading your comments, maybe not so much so.
