By extension, the similar tokens on the 128 would be either $FE $27
or else $CE $0B. I tried these, but they didn't work, so BASIC7.0
must have fixed up this problem.

Yes, exactly right. FOR then looks for the variable, and generates
a syntax error. I have now verified this; I must have been more deluded
than usual, earlier.
In immediate mode, TXTPTR is set to $02xx. I tried to find a way
to trick LIST into executing FOR, but things like LISTI=1TO10:NEXT
don't work because, of course, LIST checks for succeeding arguments
(or, if you like, LIST needs to see a statement terminator, either
a colon or a 00).
Learn something new every day!
By the way, does anyone remember the little contest RUN had, embedding
tokens into REMs to generate riddles or stories to be read by listing?
For example,
10 REM WHAT'S AN APPLECOSTA?
20 REM {C=-V}T A {INSERT CTRL-0}E
I never forgot that one :)
