incrementing over the alphabet???

Hi all,

This is probably a silly question, but I was wondering if there was a way to increment over the alphabet similarily to how we increment a number. something similar to this:

count = 1;

while 1
count = count + 1
end

except instead of outputing a number that runs until your computer explodes, it does it for the alphabet. An output like this:

a, b, c, d, ... z

Is this possible? or is there some sort of ASCII incrementing I could do? It would make my program very pretty, and I like pretty programs.

Thanks in advance.
