using "repeat for each" when you don't want to start with the first line

[shop]

I have a number of repeat loops in my software which I would love to speed up using the "repeat for each" technique but I don't want to start with the first line.  Instead, I want to start based on which line the user selects in a fld.  A typical example of what I'm currently doing follows:     put the SelectedText of fld "Scene List" into CurScene   put lineoffset(CurScene&return,SceneFile) into q   repeat with q2 = q+1 to the number of lines in SceneFile         do stuff   end repeat   Any suggestions?   Rich Mooney Payne Sparkman Mfg.
