Not that it seems to matter these days but both this method and the <..-1>
notation (which is an implicit form of the same thing) could be said to be
needlessly evaluating whether or not A is null 49,999 times.
An alternative would be :
A = 1
FOR I = 2 TO 50000
A := @VM : I
NEXT I
I also found (many years ago) that :-
A = ''
FOR I = 1 TO 50000
A:= @VM : I
NEXT I
DEL A<1,1,0> or A = A[2,999999]
was faster than repeatedly testing whether A was null

Hi Mark,
There is another fast method to consider
A=""
FOR I=1 TO 50000
IF A = "" THEN
A := I
END ELSE
A := @VM : I
END
NEXT I
It will take less then 1 second to finish on our system.
