Yes, it has been a while but my recollection is that it is a bit simpler 
and a bit more complex.

Consider:

Dim X as Integer 'X is declared and has value of zero

For X = 6 to 123 ' X is set to 6 and
	do something
Next ' X is incremented
Print X ' Prints 123

For X as Integer = 1 to 12 ' X is declared as a*new Integer local to the loop*
	do something
Next
Print X ' Prints 123

I could be wrong. It's just what I recall.
