NAME
     break - Abort looping command

SYNOPSIS
     break
_________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
     This command is typically invoked inside the body of a loop-
     ing  command  such as for or foreach or while.  It returns a
     TCL_BREAK code, which causes a  break  exception  to  occur.
     The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to
     the innermost containing loop command, which then aborts its
     execution  and  returns normally.  Break exceptions are also
     handled in a few other situations, such as  the  catch  com-
     mand,  Tk  event bindings, and the outermost scripts of pro-
     cedure bodies.
