Comeing from other script languages I
tried to use the following

UNTIL not exist("file_name")

and got '0' or '1' displayed but no syntax
error as I should.

Correct synax is:
UNTIL (0 = exist("file_name")) ; not exist

this behaviour is in version 3.45 and 3.55.

Will this fixed or will a NOT operator be in the next release?

Sample to test:

$target_file = "c:\tp\tempw.doc"
? "target_file(1):" $target_file


$loop_cnt=0
$loop_cnt_max=100


do
$loop_cnt=$loop_cnt + 1
? "target_file(2):" $target_file

until not exist($target_file)
or
$loop_cnt > $loop_cnt_max


exit
