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:

REALbasic just skips over this entire code block, apparently
ignoring
the step parameter.
Anyone else find this annoying?
No, because REALbasic doesn't skip it.
for i = 10 to 0 step - 1
Huh? Here's my code from a pushbutton:
Sub Action()
dim i as integer
for i=10 to 0 step -1
msgBox str(i)
next
End Sub
Press the button, nothing happens. I'm using 5.5, incidentally.

This is exactly why we need details of hard- and software used to
accompany the question. The 'step' keyword was implemented in
RB2006r1; from the release notes:
[Chg] [All] Language: Negative step values now cause a For loop to
iterate backwards, instead of aborting instantly. This is
more consistent with the way other dialects of Basic work.
(The DownTo option is still supported, since it can improve
readability, but now it simply reverses the sign of the
step value.)(Feedback ID: uxilkzbk)
