Repeat loop index

Hi Jim,

Nope :-)

Just add these 2 lines to know what line your on

...
put 0 into your_line_counter
repeat for each line ...
   add 1 to your_line_counter
   ## do your ultra-fast stuff here...
...

So you can always do something with this var inside the loop...

Hope that helps.
