Thanks, Allin. That made me think of a related thing; consider the following pseudo script: <broken-hansl> loop 3 print "hey" </broken-hansl> If I run it, nothing happens. OK, I don't expect any (printed) output, but wouldn't it maybe be better to throw an error if an end-of-file is reached before the loop is completed with endloop?
