Actually, in standard Pascal, such a construct is illegal.  If you have a
loop index, it is not allowed to be "threatened" by anything inside the
loop, including functions or procedures called. I think most compilers
that check such things check that it does not get passed as a var parameter.
I may be wrong, but I also think it is illegal to use a more-global
variable as a loop index; i.e., the inner function would be considered
illegal because it uses a non-local var as a loop index.  Of course, if
your compiler does not check this, you're stuck.   -- Darren
