<H3>For Loops</H3>
The <CODE>For</CODE> control structure provides a simple mechanism for iteration
with integer variables and takes the form:
<P><PRE>
For <parameter>=<initial> to <final>:
<body>
...
</PRE>
<P>The <CODE><parameter></CODE> must be an integer parameter, i.e. declared
as one of the following:
<P><PRE>
Integer <parameter>;
Counter <parameter>;
Flag <parameter>;
</PRE>
<P>There is no difference between these three integer parameter types
incidentally, they are only included to make it clear to a human
reader of a <B>Tao</B> script whether a particular integer variable is
a counter a Boolean flag etc. It therefore makes little stylistic sense
to use a <CODE>Flag</CODE> as the loop variable in a <CODE>For</CODE> statement or a
<CODE>Counter</CODE><A NAME="1"> in</A> an <CODE>If</CODE> statement.
