	Hi;

	seq is just a handy command, not a part of bash. (man seq
for useful options) If you want to access the output of a useful
command in one of your scripts, you could do it like this:

for X in $(seq 1 99) ; do

or

for X in `seq 1 99` ; do

Unix has many many little commands designed to make your life
easier, particularly for scripts.
