Now you're just nitpicking.  If you write programs where you set ON to
*off, you have far deeper problems than I can help you with.

Personally, I don't code infinite loops, so I don't care.  I ALWAYS code
my programs with some sort of condition:

Done = *off;
DoU Done;


Simple, clean, easy to remember.  If you never set Done to *ON, it's as
good as an infinite loop, and at the same time it allows you to
gracefully exit as needed.
