 ==== Description ====
-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]].\\
+The FOREACH and NEXT commands are used to loop through the elementf of a list, an array, or a maap.  Each element will be returned in the variable.
-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.
+If the array is two dimensional it will be traversed through the columns of row one then row two...
