Here's an example of using public (global) and private variables in a loop...

Notes:

• notice how a public (Global) variable has a $ (dollar sign) at the beginning. A global public variable means it can be accessed by all scripts.
• the variable "countThisIsNotPublic" does not start with a $ (dollar sign). Therefore, it only exists within this script. It cannot be accessible by other scripts.
• see how the main code is within a "loop forever". That will loop for ever, as the name suggests. You can exit the loop with a BREAK. Or you can exit the entire script with a HALT or a RETURN

  

And here's the JavaScript it generates...

countThisIsNotPublic = 0;

while (true) {

  setVar("$MyGlobalVariable", Utility.getRandom(0, 10));if (getVar("$MyGlobalVariable") == 5) {

    print("The random number matched my number");
    break;
  }

  countThisIsNotPublic = (countThisIsNotPublic + 1);
}

print("Break got me here because it breaked out of the loop.");
print("It took " + countThisIsNotPublic + " times to guess my number with random");

Thanks a million, I think I'm back on track. Jack
