Yes, it's true.  Improperly nested or unended loops won't make it past
the dBase IV complier.  Thus, there is no need to worry about run-time
loop errors.

One other thing about dBase IV, the editor has been significantly
enhanced and that really helps me.  It has auto-indent which will help
us careless indenters, and it has block functions that allow you to
move, delete, copy, and left/right tab blocks of code.  This is a
major time saver to me.  

(The editor also has search/search & replace functions, and block read
and write to disk capabilities).  Makes typing modi comm a pleasure
now.

Good luck to you.
