If you didn't mind breaking the program flow a little,
you could always use a goto command to go back up to the top of the loop.



Many people don't like the use of goto. Personally, I'm old school and I'll use
it if I need to make a break every now and then.

Everything happens for a reason

Alternatively, if you want to avoid the dreaded goto loop, (although personally I can't see any problem with it as used above), you would probably use the repeat-until loop. Something like this I think....

much thanks, I actually dont mind using "goto" I just treat it like any other command. I prefer it more than loops for smaller programs such as this.

I know we're in danger of starting a whole new 'GOTO' or 'DON'T GOTO' thread - but......

Sure - if you want to run a subroutine and return back to the same place, use gosub But if you don't wish to return, then you would use goto. Like a re-entry point in the program where a user wants to restart - that's where I'd use a goto, to take them back to a previous part of the program.
