As an extra bonus I'm too lazy to make this a standalone file, so I've 
included my "std.inc", which contains a suite of tricks I like using. Enjoy 
:)

thanks, now I've downloaded this just to look at your std.inc ;)

The global brightness trick (Iris) is neat and I'll
probably want to try your studio settings sometimes.

Also, I use an almost identical "for" macro, except my
names are reversed: The "callback" macro I call FOR and
the "for" macro I call FROM_TO, then the usage has a
slighly more traditional syntax ;)

#macro FOR(I)
   //Do something with I
#end FROM_TO(1,10)

Also I have indexed copies of the macro for nested loops.

I've actually only used my "for" macro once, therefore meaning that it's 
taken me *more* effort than if I hadn't written it at all! It never seems to 
quite suit any code I'm writing.

Interesting, that certainly looks better than my one. I might try that.

You might be amused to know that the "citify" technique I'm currently 
developing (see my post in p.b.i) is now using one of your suggested loops. 
Thanks for the idea :)

Though I'm calling it While(), since the condition is much more complex than 
a for loop.
