                  or   BEGIN ... flag WHILE ... REPEAT
                  BEGIN marks the start of a  word  sequence  for
                  repetitive execution.   A BEGIN-UNTIL loop will
                  be repeated until flag is true.  A BEGIN-WHILE-
                  REPEAT loop will  be  repeated  until  flag  is
                  false.  The words after UNTIL or REPEAT will be
                  executed when either loop is finished.   sys is
                  balanced with its corresponding  AGAIN    UNTIL
                  or  WHILE .

LONG DEFINITION : The address of a variable containing the number
                  of the mass storage block being interpreted  as
                  the input stream.   If the value of BLK is zero
                  the input stream is taken from the  text  input

SHORT DEFINITION: Compiles an unconditional branch operation.
LONG DEFINITION : When used in the form:  COMPILE BRANCH
                  an  unconditional branch operation is compiled.
                  A branch address must be  compiled  immediately
                  following this compilation address.  The branch
                  address  is  typically  generated  by following
                  BRANCH with <RESOLVE or >MARK .
