	symbol counter=b1	
	symbol led=b.4
	symbol buzzer=b.2		
main:
	for counter = 1 to 5
		high led
		high buzzer
		pause 500
		Low  led
		Low buzzer
		pause 500
	next counter 
main1:	
	for counter =1 to 2
	goto main
	next counter
	end

Trying to alter code that I got from the manual.
What I am trying to accomplish is have "main" repeated 5 times..wait...repeat 2 more times.
Am I overthinking this?
Let me know if these questions belong in a different forum
And thanks for any help!

In your "Main1" code, you start the for-next loop, but then you "goto main" which jumps the program OUT of your for-next loop before it can ever progress...

In main1, "counter" is set to 1...then "goto main" hits, and main then resets counter to 1, and starts the 1 - 5 for-next loop.

You could look at putting your beep / flash routine into it's own subroutine...then having a variable such as "loops" that you set to the number of loops you want, and then call it with a gosub.

main:
loops = 5
gosub flash
pause 500
loops = 2
gosub flash
pause 200
goto main

flash:
for counter = 1 to loops
high led
high buzzer
pause 500
low led
low buzzer
pause 500
next counter
return

One option to consider:

	symbol counter=b1	
	symbol led=b.4
	symbol buzzer=b.2		
main:
	for counter = 1 to 5
	    GOSUB LEDnBuzzer	
	next counter 
	PAUSE 9999 ; your desired pause here
	for counter =1 to 2
	    GOSUB LEDnBuzzer	
	next counter
	end

LEDnBuzzer:
	high led
	high buzzer
	pause 500
	Low  led
	Low buzzer
	pause 500
	RETURN

EDIT:
And bpowell got in there with another alternative before me
