Christoph,
I do very much respect you, and fully acknowledge and admit that there are
frequently instances where I jump the gun on things, or totally miss what's
happening.

If I'm missing something, then I still can't see it, and I'd like to know how a
#for loop using (12-1)=11 as an endpoint, and yet it runs to 13, or (36-1)=35,
and yet it runs to 36 - is possible.

Beyond the final #end statement, the counter should be final+step.  Within the
loop, it should be start to end inclusive (according to the docs)

It would be most helpful if you could point to right where the error is, and
say, "look - it's right HERE"  otherwise I'm just wasting a lot of time.

Because I've run it another 5 times with all sorts of other #debug statements,
and the behaviour doesn't make any sense, given what my mind is seeing.


So the question is - what is YOUR mind seeing, and can you demonstrate to me
that it's actually occurring - and WHY.
