Syntax:  LOOP label
 
 
  Loops repeatedly to a specified label. LOOP decrements CX (with-
  out changing any flags) and if the result is not 0, transfers execution
  to the address specified by the operand. If CX is 0 after being dec-
  remented, execution continues at the next instruction. The operand must
  specify a short label (between -128 and 127 bytes from the instruction
  following the LOOP instruction).
