Hi, don't panic i'm gonna answer to you, i think i'm gonna save you (if possible)
if you want to store values from x to y going by z each time in the var list for example, you should do like that:
There are two diferent ways, the first one is the one U seemed to be trying to do:
first way (not really efficient):
{}->list
0->n
for i,x,y,z
1+n->n
i->list[n]
endfor
second way, this is tinier, smarter, simpler and better programming, so U have no choice! :-)
{}->list -- init the list (can be replaced by []->list, if you want a matrice)
for i,x,y,z
augment(list,{i})->list
endfor
Actually there is an other way, a mathematical way in only one line of code, which is for me better, but I just can't remember it for now, and i don't have the time to think about it for now. If you really want to know about it, just Email me later, sure i'll answer.
By the way, be proud, BASIC programming is very powerful, U can do a lot of things. I did games, and even a Program Manager (PGL2.0, can be found on http://www.ticalc.com), pretty efficient.
