Maybe you should be a little more specific on what you're trying to do.

If you care, the struture of the for loop is this:

for(initiazation; test; increment)
{
    // body of loop
}

It is more flexible than that form indicates, but that would be the most common way to use it. A quick example of it actually being used as a "pause."

// Somewhere at the top
unsigned int i;

// Later on
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    // Do nothing
}

This code would cause it to loop ten times and then continue.

Note that if you were using this as a timer, it would be different at different battery charges as the controller would run slower.

Anyways, if anyone cares, there it is.
