Opps sorry, I just relized that the pushdef'd x
would require a \. (I had been wrestling on how to convert
the forloop example with a \ prefix).
By the way, I can't seem to access the download page so
I found the 1.4o version of the source else where.
Again I apologize for the erroneous bug report.
