Looping

Thanks to all of those that helped me out on the "adding one hour" to a
variable. Now I'm moving on further and I need to loop my times.
Looping one item is confusing to me so looping two is really tough.
Here's what I'm trying to do.
I'm getting five inputs from fields and buttons.
1. If it's AM or PM for start "SAmPm"
2. The start time of the Table "STime"
3. What Intervals the time should be incrementing in "Intervals"
4. If it's AM or PM for the End Time "EAmPm"
5. The finish time of the table "ETime"
What I want the program to do is take the three inputs and fill a table
with the answers until the end time has been reached. The answers
should populate the table "MyTable" in descending order. I know I have
to use a loop to get the results but I'm confused on how to loop both
the time and the line number of the field. Also I'm not sure how to end
the loop at the designated end time. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Jeff
on mouseUp
put the label of btn "SAmPm" into SAmPm
put fld "STime" into STime
put fld "Intervals" into Intervals
put fld "ETime" into ETime
put the label of btn "EAmPm" into EAmPm
put STime && SAmPm into currentTime
put currentTime into item 1 of line 1 of fld MyTable
convert currentTime to seconds
put currentTime + (60*Intervals) into FutureTime
convert FutureTime to time
put FutureTime into item 1 of line 2 of fld MyTable
end mouseUp
