On my Version 4.1 on Windows 98: 1) With the up/down keys I can cycle repeatedly in either direction with no problem, without having to add any extra cells. 2) However, the control strip keys behave erratically for single stepping. Or else, I don't know the proper way to use them for single stepping. Adding a Text cell after the animation frames did not improve it.

Single-stepping the animation backward using the up/down? arrow key will now take you down to the k=1 plot, then loop back up to the k=4 plot. Single-stepping the animation forward using the down/up? arrow key will take you up to the k=4 plot, but will NOT loop back down to the k=1 plot (although the free-running animation does seem to loop around OK). Adding another cell (even a header or text cell) at the end of the notebook, however, so that there is another cell after the k=4 plot, will enable cyclic single-step looping in either direction around the loop.
