LOOp nnn ivar vstart vend (vincrement) / LOOp -nnn

The LOOp directive is used to start a loop with a unique (integer in the range 1...999) flag nnn. The loop must be terminated by an LOOp -nnn statement.

When the loop is started, the real-valued movie variable with the number ivar is set to the value vstart and all directives between the LOOp nnn statement and the corresponding LOOp -nnn statement are executed. Then the movie variable is incremented by vincrement (default 1 if vincrement is missing) and the loop statements are repeated if the movie variable has not yet reached the value vend.

Although nnn and ivar may differ from each other, it is easier to set nnn=ivar.
