For example, if this is the script myscript:
i=0

The until loop repeats until a condition becomes true:

do

done
For example:
i=0
until [ $i -gt 3 ]
do
echo "again"
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
$ ./myscript
0
1
2
The for loop iterates over values from a list:

this will actually print again 3 times.
Other than that, I found the writing style very enjoyable and accessable.
