-The FOR and NEXT commands are used in conjunction to execute a command or group of commands a specified number of times. When the FOR command is first encountered, the variable is set to //start_expr//.\\
+The FOR and NEXT commands are used in conjunction to execute a command or group of commands a specified number of times. When the FOR command is first encountered, the variable is set to [[numericexpressions|start_expression]].\\
-After each NEXT command, variable is incremented by 1 (the default), or by //step_expr// if the optional STEP is used, until the variable is greater than or equal to //stop_expr// for positive step values, or less than or equal to //stop_expr// for negative step values.
+After each NEXT command, variable is incremented by 1 (the default), or by [[numericexpressions|step_expression]] if the optional STEP is used, until the variable is greater than [[numericexpressions|stop_expression]] for positive step values, or less than [[numericexpressions|stop_expression]] for negative step values.
+==== Example ====
+<code>
+for i = 1 to 5
