don't know what your trying to acomplish but this counts to 60 then back down again...

+ Code Snippet

sync on



do


if x>59
for r = 1 to 60
x=x-1
print " ",x
wait 100
next r
endif



for x = 1 to 60

print " ",x
wait 100
next x

sync

loop

You can increase and decrease variables without showing output... this may be the case.

Try this:

+ Code Snippet

do
 if e=0  ` When a variable isn't defined it always starts at zero
  inc Enemy
  if Enemy=60 then e=1  ` When Enemy equals 60 make e=1
  else   ` if e is anything else but 0 it runs this part
  dec Enemy
  if Enemy=1 then e=0  ` When Enemy is 1 make e=0
 endif
 print str$(Enemy)  ` Print to the screen what Enemy is
 sleep 20  ` This is a delay so you can see the output easier
loop
