in thread "last" not really outside loop block

Right you are.

Adding a bare block allows the use of the loop constructs, next, last & redo ansd works as expected most places, but not in this case.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
