Loop function syntax

Loop(number of loops, evaluation or operation)

Example:

A = Loop(5,C1+C2)

Gets the sum of C1 and C2 5 times for every dimension evaluation.

The loop function must be contained by an OnEvent, Sequence or
some other function, to prevent the loop from being executed
continually at the dimension evaluation rate.

A = OnEvent9(Loop(5,C1+C2)

The loop execution is now constrained by the OnEvent function and
will be executed only once when the number 9 key is pressed.
