You could do that, but it would slow the loop down considerably, as well as displaying 1,000,000 / 10,000 "done" messages on the screen! The way it is written, it just displays done to let you know the loop has finished processing. You might have missed the closing END at the end of the Prime's FOR loop... it is at the end of the statement. The last END in the prime program pairs with the BEGIN statement, so done is printed after the loop finishes executing in the Prime program as well.
