From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   repeat loop
  
      (Or "do loop") A {loop} construct found in many
      {imperative} programming languages which repeatedly executes
      some instructions while a condition is true.
  
      It is found in {Pascal}, {BASIC} and {C} ("do" form). The
      condition may be tested with a "while" or "until" {keyword}.
  
      In constrast to a {while} loop, the "loop body" is executed
      once before the condition is tested.   This is useful when the
      condition depends on the action of the loop body.   In the
      following BASIC loop "Hello" is printed once despite the fact
      that the condition is false;
  
         i = 2
         repeat
            print "Hello"
            i = i+1
         until i>0
  
      See also {while loop} and {for loop}.
