+======Synopsis:======
+__until__ (<condition>) [{] <action> [}]
+======Description:======
+The __UNTIL__ loop is the inverse of the [[WHILE]] loop; it performs the
+given <action> so long as <condition> is false.
+The <condition> is evaluated in "expression mode".
+The <action> is evaluated in "text mode".
+The curly-braces around <action> are recommended, but optional.
+======Examples:======
+To display a warning message 3 times:
+      @ xx = 3
+      until ( xx == 0 ) {
+         echo WARNING!  This ship will self destruct in $xx seconds!
+         @ xx--
+      }
+A infinite loop that behaves like the Unix 'yes' command:
+      until ( 0 ) echo yes
+======History:======
+The __UNTIL__ command first appeared in EPIC3.
