Lars,

One word of caution.

While CI expressions in 'comment' lines do get evaluated when first
encountered, 'comment' statements are NOT included in the 'while' objects
generated by the CI to facilitate their evaluation, and thus the values of
'newh' and 'newm', in this case, would not change if the statement was
placed in a while loop hoping to use the new values of the variables at
each iteration.

Regards
Paul Christidis
