While the code big10p gave you is, as you asked, exactly like the C source, we should probably mention that you can iterate through automatically generated lists of type instances also (which basically cuts out having to use fixed size arrays):
Open in online IDE
Type dataT        ; 'data' is a reserved word.
  Field x%, y%
End Type
currentDataT.dataT=Null; declarations are good


For i = 0 To 9
  currentDataT = New dataT
  currentDataT\x = i
  currentDataT\y = i*2
Next

;iterate through list of instances
For currentDataT = Each dataT
	Print currentDataT\x+","+currentDataT\y
Next

Linked lists are pretty useful for games programming and you'll probably end up adopting them sooner or later.
