Use For( to control how many times a loop is repeated. A For(
command loops to repeat the same group of commands
(block) and increments to control the number of times the loop
is repeated.
It executes commands in block through end, increasing
variable from begin by increment until variable>end.
increment is optional (default=1) and can be negative
(end<begin). end is a maximum or minimum value not to be
exceeded, which identifies the end of the loop. End identifies
the end of block. When variable>end, the program executes
each command following End. For( loops can be nested.
:For(variable,begin,end[,increment])
:block (while variable { end)
:End
:command
