Repeat Loop

[Bill Marriott]

Actually, to reveal the true issue, try this:

repeat with n = 0 to 1 step 0.1
put n & tab & (n - 1) * 100000000000 & return after aList
end repeat
put aList into fld 1

Rounding error. On the second-to-last iteration, Rev doesn't think it's 
quite reached "1" yet, so it goes through the loop one more time.
