R help - Dec 2007 - Recursive solution with for()

Hello,

i just ran into the following problem: I wanted to recursively solve 
equations of the type x_1[t]=x_1[t+1]+beta*x_2[t], and used a for-loop 
written

for(j in c(1:t-1, recursive=TRUE){
...
}

This didn't work, so i resolved to writing
for(j in c(10,9,...,1){

which worked, but is not terribly efficient. So, what did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Owe

It not entirely clear, but I think that you are looking for

seq(t-1, 1)
