FOR
[SIC\]FOR Loop_Variable n1 n2 n3 TO n4 BY n5 n6 TO n7
[SIC\]FOR Loop_Variable /IN List_Variable
[SIC\]FOR /WHILE Logical_Expression
Open a FOR-NEXT loop to be executed for real values in the list (FOR
Variable), or any values (including strings) given in the /IN option,
or until a logical expression becomes false (FOR /WHILE).
Up to 9 loops may be nested in any way. The loop can be exited at any
time with the command BREAK (see HELP BREAK for details).
If the loop is entered interactively at the prompt, the last character
of the prompt becomes a ':' instead of '>', and all subsequent commands
typed in until NEXT are the body of the loop.
* Indexed loops: FOR Loop_Variable n1 n2 n3 TO n4 BY n5 n6 TO n7
See HELP FOR Indexed
* Generalized loops: FOR Loop_Variable /IN List
See HELP FOR /IN
* Conditional loops: FOR /WHILE Logical_Expression
See HELP FOR /WHILE
The Loopriable is the name of a SIC variable created by the FOR command
and must not be an existing variable name.
