No examples are given of how to use upfrom, upto and above and I cant
make out their usefulness from the spec. I'd appreciate some sample
code using these 3, preferably one at a time.

It's a language spec, not an introduction or a textbook.

Ok I figured them out from this text and a bit of hacking:
* upfrom == from
* above is like below but for decreasing loops
* upto == to

Thanks.
