Hi

As part of a shell script I need to write a for loop that iterates from
1 to 10 inclusive. I know I can use this:

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
	echo $i
done

However, that's a pretty nasty way of doing it. I've seen a function
that will create the list "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" but I can't for the
life of me remember what it is. I think it's something like (range 1 10)
or (list 1 10), but no amount of google searching has jogged my memory.

Any ideas?
