Calculating Numbers

When you say

>
> start with a base number, say 75, and add

You mean base as in the starting number and not base as in base16 or  
base24 or base75?

If that's the case:

put 75 into theNum
repeat with x = 18 down to 1
    add x to theNum
    if theNum > 254 then
       exit repeat
    end if
end repeat
put theNum
