Curses on Eudora for Windows!  Ctrl+E - move-to-end-of-line in just about 
every unix text editor - is "Send immediately" in EudoraWin, and there is 
no facility to override the key mapping!

Like I was saying:

[set name="var[scratch x]"]red[/set]

Best done with [calc] or [perl], but you can do some rudimentary arbitrary 
loops:

[seti loopcount][calc]return '1 ' x 100;[/calc][/seti]
[loop arg="[scratchd loopcount]"]
[loop-increment]<br>
[/loop]

Will give you:
1
2
3
4
5
...
100
