I've noticed that many snippets of code I've seen use something like:

instead of
for i = 0 to UBound(MyArray)

Now, aside from the obvious that DownTo is in reverse order are there
any gains in using DownTo?
This drives me crazy. When I learned BASIC (QuickBasic 4.5 on a DOS PC,
in case you're wondering) you could specify negative steps:
for i=10 to 0 step -1
...
next
REALbasic just skips over this entire code block, apparently ignoring
the step parameter.
Anyone else find this annoying?
