Roland Heyder aeb9c0668b Updates help files for use with new Wiki parser (2nd try)
Note: Many files were removed (not yet existing/empty pages). The parser will try to download them on demand and will auto-generate text for missing pages (eg. most _gl pages).

The {{KW|WHILE...WEND}} statement is used to repeat a block of statements while the condition is met.
{{PageSyntax}}
:{{KW|WHILE}} {{Parameter|condition}}
:.
:.
:.
:{{KW|WEND}}
{{PageDescription}}
* {{Parameter|condition}} is a numeric expression used to determine if the loop will execute.
* {{Parameter|statements}} will execute repeatedly while {{Parameter|condition}} is a non-zero value.
* [[EXIT]] WHILE can be used for emergency exits from the loop in QB64 only.
* A [[DO...LOOP]] can use the same DO WHILE condition to get the same results.
* WHILE loops only run if the WHILE condition is True.
