Many basic interpreters do a quick scan when you type run, to tie
together for/next loops, def fn - call, and data statements.
As to your particular error, it could mean you have to many for
loops, loops nested too deep, or problems with matching the control
variable on the for/next pair - some require a variable and some
don't.
