    suppose i have a MASM 6.11 macro like this:

    FOR HNum, <0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,\
                   13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19>
           SetIntGateDesc <cs:Int_&HNum&_Handler>, &HNum
          %echo &HNum
        ENDM

    The above works fine.

    Now if i replace the FOR loop with WHILE:

    BuildTable MACRO
      X = 0
      WHILE X LE 19
         SetIntGateDesc <cs:Int_&X&_Handler>, &X
         %echo &X
         X = X + 1
      ENDM
    ENDM

    Why doesnt (or how do i make it work) the WHILE loop version work?
    %echo &X just prints &X instead of the numbers 0 to 19
    and if i try another way:
    %echo X just prints X instead of the numbers 0 to 19
    Thanks
    Eric
