    As you explained it, I am a bit confused. In Modula-2, I can use what
 is called a subrange to index arrays, consequentky I often use indicies 
 whick are more meaningful, such as the following:

    Sales: ARRAY [1970..1990] OF REAL;

 If I pass that array to what is called an open array procedure, 1970 
 becomes 0 (the arrays internally are zero indexed). Consequently I am 
 oriented to zero-based arrays, simply because I make such extensive use 
 of open-array parameters.

 Now you mentioned that you use FOR-NEXT over DO-LOOP so could you 
 illustrate examples of nested loops that use the control variables 
 inside, say in a shell-sort of an array.
