I seem to be having a conceptual problem with the "While" and
"EndWhile" applications. It seems that on the first cycle, even if
the result of the "While" is false that the enclosed applications
will get run. Is this expected? It seems to be counter-intuitive,
but I don't know what the intent of the While routines is. I could
of course put a "GotoIf" before the While loop to check to ensure
that the first expression is true before entry into the While loop,
but that seems redundant and ugly since the while point of While and
EndWhile is to avoid the inelegance of GotoIf, I thought.
If anyone can't come up with a better explanation, I'll open a ticket
on this but I'd like to first make sure that this behavior is not
expected.

that gets run!")
