locale and for loop on same line

[Bev in TX]

According to the documentation, "...simple statements may occur on a 
single line separated by semicolons."

The "for" statement is a compound, not simple, statement.

Would it be possible to place your statements in a function and then you 
would just need to invoke the function?
