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: How FOR ... NEXT Works.
