New issue 958 by david.p...@points.com: For Loop - Cannot put inside a  
resource file
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=958

The power of the For Loop is wonderful, however when embedding a loop  
inside a resource file, one cannot make use of it from a test case. You  
simply get the following error message:

FOR loop contains no keywords.

(note we are using tab separated test case styles)

In addition, if you try and use a FOR loop in a file with a .txt extension  
in a simple test case (no resources or keywords) you get a similar message.

It appears there's some kind of parsing error.
