Please consider this feature request as independent of any python-related functionality. I understand the desire for something python-like, however it certainly doesn't fall under the "or" keyword. If anything we could probably get away with it under "and", or introduce a new keyword of "then", but really, that is a subject for a different thread altogether. This thread is about the "loop not entered" syntax. Lets stick to that for now, and I'm more than happy to create a thread for the other scenario later on, and we can discuss the python style there instead. Cheers, Leigh.
