OH BOY!!!! ANOTHER CYCLE THREAD!!!!! WOOHOO!

I use the cycle for multiple field control break processing. The main
reason is that there is really only one way to do it using level break
indicators, while there are as many roll-your-own control break
techniques as there are programmers who write them.

I don't trust anyone else's roll-your-own control break routines, so
it doesn't bother me if they don't trust mine.

One of these days, I'd really love to learn how to do that. It *actually does* bother me that there's a major feature of The Cycle that I've had little or no success using, even if there have only been a few occasions when it would have been of practical use in my own Cycle programs. On at least one of those occasions, I futzed around for hours without accomplishing much, and ultimately ended up just doing a "roll-your-own."
