==FOREVER==

<code>FOREVER | DO FOREVER</code>

Repeat commands between <code>FOREVER</code> and <code><code>END</code> forever.</code>

A loop is started with the <code>DO</code> command and stopped with <code>[[Programmer Guide/Command Reference/END|END]]</code>. The commands <code>[[Programmer Guide/Command Reference/BREAK|BREAK]]</code> and <code>[[Programmer Guide/Command Reference/CONTINUE|CONTINUE]]</code> described above are especially for use in loops. You can use a <code>[[Programmer Guide/Command Reference/GOTO and GOSUB|GOTO]]</code> command inside a loop to jump out of the loop.
