   TP6 should have Break and Continue. But note that you can replace   
   Continue with an if-clause:   
      
     for ...   
     begin   
       ...   
       if X then   
         Continue;   
       // rest   
     end;   
      
   is equivalent to:   
      
     for ...   
     begin   
       ...   
       if not X then   
       begin   
         // rest   
       end;   
     end;
