Have I missed something here?

sequence s
s = {4, 5, 6, 2, 9, 5, 1, 4, 1, 3}

for i = 10 to 1 by -1 do
    ? s[i]
end for

for i = 8 to 0 by -2 do -- experiment with zeroes
    ? s[(i)+1] -- I've stuck brackets round the 'i' because it could
               -- be a more complex expression (e.g. try i/2)
end for

There's even the line:
        for i = length(buffer)-1 to b_line+1 by -1 do
in ed.ex!
