Well, there are a bunch of ways to do this. Here's a quick and dirty way to get out of an infinite loop:
break on
while forever
if $i = 100
goto "GetOut"
endif
$i = $i + 1
loop
:GetOut
?"i=$i"
exit
But normally, one would include a condition in the WHILE statement that would break out of the loop gracefully, like this:
break on
while $i < 100
$i = $i + 1
loop
?"i=$i"
exit
Or, if you don't really have anything handy to loop against, you can always just create a flag and set it to false insode the loop, like this:
break on
$flag = 1 ; true
while $flag
$i = $i + 1
if $i = 100
$flag = 0 ; false
endif
loop
?"i=$i"
exit
Hope this helps
