This block of code is just moving the 0's in positions 1 to 4 up one slot.

Counter never hits 0 to copy the value that you are setting. So your
example #1 effectively isn't doing the following line from Example #2:
> Recent.High[1] = Recent.High[0];
Replace with this code:
> FOR Counter = 5 DownTO 1
> BEGIN
> Recent.High[Counter] = Recent.High[Counter-1];
> END;
Hope that clears it up.
...not to say there ~aren't~ serious problems with EasyLanguage though...
;^) In this case, it looks like you were just staring a bit too hard for a
bit too long.
It's too bad that we (I know do) so naturally/quickly come to the point
where our reaction is, "well it must be another problem with EasyLanguage".
;^)
