[Coco] %% in FOR-NEXT

[Wayne Campbell]

I don't know if you are referring to Basic09 syntax, or DECB BASIC syntax. 
In Basic09, The value following the TO directive is a number reflecting the 
upper bound of the loop. It can be a whole number (integer), or a floating 
point number (real). A variable of the correct type can be used as this 
value.

FOR i := 1 TO 10
FOR i := .0001 TO .0010
FOR i := 1 TO upper_value

IF the STEP value is included, that value determines how the loop is 
incremented, or decremented.

FOR i := 1 TO 1000 STEP 10
FOR i := 1000 TO 1 STEP -10
