      Page 506 Paragraph in the bottom half of the page beginning with
      How FOR ... NEXT  Works .......

      CURRENTLY READS AS FOLLOWS:

      How FOR ... NEXT Works.  FOR takes the "start" and "finish" from the
      stack as the beginning and ending values for the loop counter, then
      creates the local variable "counter" as a loop counter.  Then, the
      loop-clause is executed; "name" can appear within the loop clause.
      NEXT increments "name" one by one, and then tests whether "name" is 
      less than or equal to "finish". If so, the loop-clause is repeated
      (with the new value of "name").

      SHOULD READ AS FOLLOWS:
