Re: Cycle programs and control level breaks

Just had to laugh.  I was going through an old bookshelf last night and
ran across my orange-cover copy of Shelley & Cashman RPG-II (circa
1984?).  Ahhhhh... the memories.  Learning RPG-II on a DEC-10 simulation
(the prompting editor was written in Fortran).

Again, I'm not denigrating your impression.  For all I know, you have a 
copy of Shelly & Cashman sitting open on your desk and it just doesn't 
click for someone who worked in traditional languages.  But consider 
that there is an entire generation of RPG programmers who used level 
breaks every day, in tens of thousands of programs.  I am one of them. 
I have no formal software education (I wanted to be William Primrose), 
and I (a simpleton) was able to work out not only level breaks, but 
matching records too.
