+#X obj 13 49 until;
+#X text 7 78 Every modern programming language will have various "looping"
+mechanisms: either in the form of an object \, or as a data structure.
+For example in Visual Basic:;
+#X text 18 145 DO UNTIL i = 100;
+#X text 18 159 i = i + 1;
+#X text 19 130 i = 0;
+#X text 18 174 LOOP;
+#X text 3 285 And now Pd's version of the above programming structures:
+;
+#X obj 12 332 until;
+#X msg 12 312 100;
+#X obj 12 352 print i;
+#X text 5 379 If you start [until] with a "bang" \, it will begin an
+infinite loop! Please plan ahead in this case so that there is a mechanism
+in place to stop the loop - otherwise Pd will effectively freeze.;
+#X text 5 446 HOW TO FREEZE Pd;
+#X msg 13 469 bang;
+#X obj 13 489 until;
+#X obj 13 509 print;
+#X text 51 469 DO NOT CLICK. DO NOT CLICK. DO NOT CLICK.;
+#X text 5 200 OR:;
+#X text 17 226 FOR i = 0 TO 100;
+#X text 16 252 NEXT;
+#X text 17 240 ' do something;
+#X text 439 240 If you start [until] with a number \, it iterates that
+number of times. The [uzi] object in MAX works the same way.;
+#X obj 496 328 until;
+#X msg 496 281 100;
+#X obj 496 348 print i;
+#X msg 524 288 3;
+#X msg 552 295 42;
+#X text 14 536 The [until] object's left inlet starts a loop in which
+it outputs "bang" until its right inlet gets a "bang" which stops it.
