   Please show us some more code. Sure the loop variable is what is decremented?   
   When executing the loop variable must start with the first value and then be   
   incremented until the end condition is met!   
      
   program test ;   
      
   var   
      
     I : integer   
      
   begin   
     for  I  :=  1  to  10  do   
     writeln (I) ;   
   end.   
   will surely show the numers 1 to 10 printed on separate lines.
