FOR name FROM e1 BY e2 TO e3 WHILE cond DO body OD The significant part is the the name is bound to a value and can't be assigned in the body. (You don't say it can be but "var := a" makes var look like a plain Algol68 variable.) <snip> -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
