If you are using NT/2000 cmd.exe, run `for /? | more' to get many options,
but probably not this one ;-(.  On 4DOS, bash (and python of course) you
can achieve it by counting for yourself (e.g. add `set n=%@eval[%n + 1]'
(IIRC) as a second command in the loop - 4DOS).  Hardly any language comes
with double counter/over-a-list-of-values looping builtin.
