The thing is, I nearly always find I need that i for something else other than just iterating, so even when I start out with a for each loop, about 80% of the time I wind up switching back so I have that i to get hold of. Since I know that this is quite likely to happen, I just "cut to the chase" and use the indexed loop. -Amy
