PE6 small bug, and do-loop suggestion

Hi

1. PE 6.0.7.2
When you try to simulate Axe107 Rudolph, you get the "Simon says" board.

2. When you write the command "do" , it should be nice to get the "loop" in a new line below the cursor, because you need it always.
So you will see always the full loop. Maybe too with "for-next".

Whilst it might seem a nice idea, having the editor predict what you might need next and do it for you, opens up a new area for potential bugs that require fixing.

Oh please NO.
That would drive me insane!
Where would it put the 'loop' and / or 'next'?
Suppose you were converting some code from maybe a frequently called sub into a loop.

Another thing to consider is that typing a program into the editor is a very small part of the overall process. In other words, although it might seem like a savings in time, there wouldn't really be much overall savings. (Not to mention the "unsaving" of time having to erase "loop" after adding "do" while editing portions of your program as BeanieBots mentioned.)

It would be worth checking out "Code Snippets" - Right-click, select Insert, then Code Snippets, then select whichever you want.

One of the first things I do in any IDE or Code Editor is turn off any auto complete functions.
