While command

[Ellisrh]

Is there a while command ? I don't see it
If not is there a substitute or work around?

[Mr. Kibernetik]

You are right, there is no WHILE command.

How to substitute. For example, this "WHILE" code

A=0
DO WHILE A <= 5
PRINT A
A=A+1
LOOP

can be substituted with

A=0
DO: IF A > 5 THEN END
PRINT A
A=A+1
GOTO DO
END:

[Elchoud]

I prefer it to be like this:

A=0
DO:
PRINT A
A=A+1
IF A < 6 THEN DO
..... and the program continues

There is a difference in the two solutions. The one by Elchoud will always execute the statement at least once since the test is at the end. This is similar to the for/next loop. It tests on the next command so it will always execute once. The earlier solution by Mr. Kibermetic tests at the beginning and will exit before doing anything. So it really depends on what you need.
