So im creating a resting verb I remember how the while proc works, but i forgot how to loop it. So example code below

mob/proc/Rest
    while(tag)
        if()//the resting stuff
            //nice bit of + and stuff 
            //now how do i loop back to tag
        else
            //oooo lets break it with a nice return
            return

continue

Wouldn't you want "while(tag && the resting stuff)"?
While procs automatically loop back. That's why it's called a loop. The continue keyword is for forgetting the rest of the loop stuff and manually starting the loop over.
//Anatomy of while(), and pretty much for() too:
LOOP //label
if(condition)
   //do stuff
   
   //continue keyword, can be found anywhere in the block
   goto LOOP

   //break keyword, can be found anywhere in the block
   goto ENDLOOP

   //end of the block
   goto LOOP
//if the condition isn't true, fall out of the code block by not going back to LOOP
ENDLOOP
