Well...the only reason it's a pseudo-FOR construct is because it's a
table search.

I know you're programmed in every language invented, but I think you
may be caught up in the olde days of RPG.

1. You're using a DOWHILE construct to fake a FOR construct, which
obfuscates what you're doing.

2. While "DONE" is fairly self-explanatory, you're still using an
assignment to fake a LEAVE, again obfuscating what you're doing. (And
yes, I know, that's essentially the same thing as making The Cycle your
event loop for an interactive program, and setting on LR in response to,
say, F3, but LR is built into RPG, and functions as a program-level "DONE.")
