    Is the while command implemented in Digital UNIX V4.0?  I don't find it
    listed in the index of the 'Command and Shell User's Guide', nor in man
    on my DU V4.0 system.
    
    Thanks

while is a shell builtin for sh/ksh and csh.

    Thanks for the reply.  Sorry for the embryonic questions, but what is a
    'shell builtin', and why don't I find 'while' documented anywhere? 
    Where _is_ it documented?  I'm also looking for a 'for'command, but
    don't see it documented anywhere, either.
    
    Thanks!

8154.6Check man page for the shell of interestSUBPAC::FARICELLIThu Mar 13 1997 06:175
   Look in the man pages for "sh", "csh", "ksh", etc. for documentation
   on shell built-in commands.
