Well, I still do it for i < 1000 or so, and the speed hit is perfectly acceptable for that. The advantage for me is when I must use the number of the iteration I'm in to do something. Sure I could do: put 0 into tCounter repeat for each line LL in tList add 1 to tCounter …< do things using tCounter here>… end repeat but why bother for smaller sets of data? While we're dreaming of syntax extensions, how about this: repeat for each line LL in tList with counter = "tCounter" -- the variable tCounter would automatically be initialized then incremented with each iteration ...< do things using tCounter here>… end repeat -- Peter Peter M.
