Ok, I understand now that x is actually the first item in the list.
What I want is a loop that goes from 1 to the total number of items in
the list steve.

No, you don't understand yet.

The /first/ time through the loop 'x' is the first item in the list.

The /second/ time through the loop 'x' is the second item in the list.

The /third/ time through the loop 'x' is the third item in the list.

. . .

Keep persisting!
