In my example, the 3 sections (<setup code>, <loop body> and <loop completion 
code> are all optional. A basic do-while loop would look like this:

       do:
           <setup code>
           while <condition>

(That is, <setup code> is still repeated each time around the loop - it's 
called that because it is run before the loop evaluated condition is evaluated)

Cheers,
Nick.
