WHILE
( cond -- )(

;
p4:"while";
middle part of a BEGIN .. WHILE .. REPEAT control-loop - if cond is true the code-piece up to REPEAT is executed which will then jump back to BEGIN - and if the cond is null then WHILE will branch to right after the REPEAT (compare with UNTIL that forms a BEGIN .. UNTIL loop)
