[Coco] %% in FOR-NEXT

My guess would be that the author of the program used "%%" to remind himself
to edit the program and insert the appropriate number at a later time.  Much
sloppier than using INPUT.  Or, it could be some sort of glitch in the
uploading.  I'd check the comments/documentation for something that says the
user should insert a number there.
