I think the problem is that when you were young you were using BASIC.
STEP has never been a keyword in Borland Pascal.

Duncan Murdoch

Another explanation may be he  used either Simula or Algol.

  I don't think STEP was ever a standard Pascal keyword. You may be mixing up
BASIC with Pascal, or it was some other non-standard version of Pascal.

  For Delphi, you'll need to use a while or repeat loop, doing the
incrementing/decrementing yourself.

hello

Hopfully, my computer science teachers were old guys, so I know that Simula
and Algol wrer used languages a while ago, but I never actualy saw compiler
for them. I think I pick the STEP in the TO7 basic (You know, 10 CLS 20 GOTO
10).

But, it would be great to have it in pascal from time to time. Inprise, did
you here that? :-)

I remember STEP in Algol & Basic never Pascal.
I also remember waaayyy back in '67 being told not to bother with BASIC
since it was only a training language. Pity Bill Gates didn't have my
tutor!!!!
