>I am definitely not a fan of a sequence of DO CASE statements that are deliberately coded to "do work" (in the conditions themselves) and to ALL run in the sequence coded. To me that 'style' is a pure corruption of the intention of DO CASE.

Hmmm ... one of "favorite" constructs is:

DO CASE
CASE !SEEK( ... )
   ...
CASE !RLOCK()
   ...
CASE DELETED()
   ...
OTHERWISE
   ...
ENDCASE
