I tripped-up myself one time too many because the numeral 1 looks so
much like the letter l in so many fonts, that I self-imposed the use
of the '=', '+', and '-' on all numeric parse positions, and taught
that accordingly.
As for the "stem update & increment index in one statement" trick
itself, I can't make any claim to origination, but I do remember
getting very tired of enclosing two statements in a 'Do-End' block. I
am glad you found it useful too.
I would be astounded if there is anything I have ever written in Rexx
that Mike didn't do first.

What is the '=' good for?
Emphasized position move back to the beginning? That was how Mike
and Chip dreamed it up... so I captured it, and have used the
pattern repeatedly.
I am thankful,
