using "repeat for each" when you don't want to start with the first line

[David Tremmel]

Off the top of my head, here¹s one approach -

put 1 into i
repeat for each line L in fld ³Scene List²
  if i >= the selectedLine of fld ³Scene List² then

    do stuff (note that the current line is in the variable L)

  end if
  add 1 to i
end repeat
