What funny OS are you using?
Instead of "you writing semi-sh script and having me testing it for you",
I suggest you install the real "sh" on your OS and write & test the script
yourself :) Wouldn't that be more sensible?
Instead of the C-style for loop, you could do something like:
count="0" # or whatever start value.
while ( "$count" != "$someMaxValue" )
do
#
# Do your thing here
#
count=`expr $count + 1`
done
I'm not sure, but something like this should work.
Although a more experienced script writer may have a much
better solution....
