1 .. 99 initialization 

100 for infinity = 1 to 2 step 0 

stuff

10000 next infinity

	Which seems like a bit of a waste but some BASICs like Atari and
I think Palo Alto tiny BASIC (if a tokenized implementation)
would put a pointer to the beginning of the loop. That made the
execution of stuff faster than not having a loop and having the
last line GOTO 100.
