Well, instead of:

      CF KeepLooping = *ON
      CF /dow KeepLooping
      CF    /read MasterFile
      CF    /if %eof
      CF       HandleEndOfFile()
      CF    /endif
      CF /enddo

why not make it

      CF /KeepLooping = *ON
      CF dow KeepLooping
      CF    read MasterFile
      CF    if %eof
      CF       /HandleEndOfFile()
      CF    endif
      CF enddo

using whatever character you decide on for teh missing opcode.
That looks much more legiable to me.

Even the first version of BASIC with all it's reserved words required
the use of the "LET" reserved word for assignment operations.
