This one bit me a while back and the answer was the same and I confirmed it through testing. Maybe the documentation for For...Next should mention it. I suspect many BASIC dialects don't work this way, which could lead to confusion for new users of GAMBAS. I could be wrong, but I think even GAMBAS used to not work this way, which makes the issue even more confusing. Then again, the root of the issue doesn't really have anything to do with For...Next but in how variables deal with assignments that are out of range.
