Im not sure about the 86 but this is a loop that repeats as long as
conditions are true

While z=1
do this
endWhile (if z=1 it loops otherwise it goes to next line)

I think thats it

For is a loop that you use if you want it to run a certain number of times

For x,y,z (again im not sure how the syntax oin the 86)

so
For x,1,5 (sets x=1)
;Code
Next

Does code in loop then when reaches next increases x by one
if x=5 it goes to next line
if x is less than five it repeats loop

Some times there is a step option that would be Fro x,1,10,(step)5
meaning at Next it increases x by 5
