But the two concepts are by no means inseparable. By using
The Cycle in an interactive program that doesn't use a
primary file, I get an implicit "do until finished" loop
that can effectively become the program's main event loop.
And if (as in the present case) there is a primary file, I
no longer have to care about explicitly reading the file
and looping on EOF, as that's all implicit.

Explicit Logic = Documentation
Implicit Logic = magic

I have not used the logic cycle since I left the S/34 (where I
used the heck out of it; anybody remember fetch overflow?).

Why make someone go to the manual to rediscover the implicit
logic, when you can explicitly state it?
