how to... make a 'for 0 to x' variable that can insert digits IN an attribute name?

[David McFarlane]

liwenna,

I applaud you for wanting to improve your coding skills and fussing 
over these little details.

FWIW, I would have come up with much the same line, only I might 
reduce the math a tiny bit, and I like to add just a few more 
parantheses for clarity:

For m = (4*p - 3) to (4*p)

But to be honest I don't know if that is any better or clearer than 
what you already did.

Cheers,
