Of course, there *is* looping in etoys because each script can be 
started to loop (look in the "scripting" category for these commands 
to start and stop scripts). The main thing that is not supplied here 
is a case structure (like the one for Tests) that handles 
initialization of loops. This turns out not to be missed at all with 
children in K-6 (we will have such things in the next version of 
etoys in Andreas' Tweak stuff).  If you do want to initialize a loop, 
then just use another script and then start the looping script with 
the last line.

Cheers,

Alan
