When I copy this code, the `...` shows up as character 0x85, and I get a compile error. If I change to 3 single periods, I get a runtime error. This runs without errors for me: `do{ } \|\| !do{ };` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The true ellipses were used for aesthetics, the bastard ASCII analog are meant to cause a runtime error. Or, more accurately, an exception… but of course, there is no try ;-) `-- In Bob We Trust, All Others Bring Data.`	[reply]

Given ... turned up in `v5.12` as the Yada Yada Operator, perhaps this (which runs without compile-time or runtime errors): `do { Yada } or not do { Yada }` [download] -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
