Delete item won't work in Repeat for each loop

[Ian McKnight]

Hi Mark

Thanks for your advice. I knew that there might be a problem here nut
I only ever intended (in this instance) to delete items in lines and
not the lines themselves. I had forgotten about the down to option

Thanks for the reminder.

Regards
