Appropriate syntax for referencing objects in a looping structure?

Howdy, Another likely simple question for which the specific documentation does not seem readily available, or at least accessible. Hopefully someday other newbies will benefit from all these syntax questions and you all won't tar and feather me just yet. I feel like I've been spamming the

Opie, Thanks for the reply. well, yes, you're right that this works - and I would have sworn I had tried it, but I guess the confusion stems from the fact that in my regular format I have to use the quotes. So I must have just been loading the variable wrong earlier when I was doing it
