Whoops, I didn't see what you meant (for the POV stuff, I normally use M$OE,
because of the pretty picture shows), but when I saved Gordon's post and
loaded it with a text editor, I could see. Really looks a bit illegible,
doesn't it?

It might help if you don't think of NextX as a counter, but as a position.
We get used to using #while because there is no #for, but it is a more
general loop than that.
