Captains log, stardate -326466.1:
 Hi Tim, how's life?
In a Subspace message from Tim Hutzler to All about FOR/NEXT no work with ??, 
you said:
 TH> Well, I just discovered that a FOR/NEXT loop doesn't work with WORD
 TH> data types.
 BYTE and DWORD don't work either with a negative step...
 TH> Any code between FOR and NEXT is *skipped*/ignored.
 TH> I can use a integer data type this time, but I expect a free upgrade.
 TH> 
 Well, they can't handle negative values... The only way around I know of
 is using:
 FOR X?? = 1 TO 10
   PRINT 11 - X??
 NEXT
 Or using another data-type...
