Hmm, on second thought, you seem to be right; there's no stop action when
you run this in 2.3 either... except for the first time. That's strange.

I think, though, that using the Debugger and using TRON BREAK is a better
way to step through your programs...

This stops once, and then never stops again... (within the FB environment.)
