Let me just be completely sure that you and I are on the same page here. The macro was used to replace the do-while loop, I replaced all instances of the macro with the the actual loop. Both pieces were originally part of the code, just using macros in place of do-while statements. Do you still want me to change it? Maybe the original author did it for a specific reason.
