while selection menu press the
make is the number of times you want to repeat the loop. Enter the number

described in the Command Line Creation paragraph. Use it to create com-
mand lines that will be part of the while loop. Enter command lines as

key again and repeat the operation.
To close the while loop, press the
ate command to close the loop and return the display to the Program
Creation menu.
