SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Describes how the Continue statement immediately returns the program flow
    to the top of a program loop.

LONG DESCRIPTION
    In a script, the Continue statement immediately returns the program flow
    to the top of the innermost loop that is controlled by a For, Foreach, or
    While statement.

    The Continue keyword supports labels. A label is a name you assign to a
    statement in a script. For information about labels, see about_Break.

    In the following example, program flow returns to the top of the While loop
    if the $ctr Variable is equal to 5. As a result, all the numbers between 1
    and 10 are displayed except for 5:

        while ($ctr -lt 10)
             {
             $ctr +=1
             if ($ctr -eq 5) {continue}
             Write-Host $ctr
             }

    Note that in a For loop, execution continues at the first line in the
    loop. If the arguments of the For statement test a value that is
    modified by the For statement, an infinite loop may result.
