rsh script with inside a for loop

hi everyone,
I have the following problem: the foreach loop inside rsh doesn'work.
I have tried the for command but it's not recognized. with the foreach command I don't receive any error, but it doesn't really make the cycle, ignoring the foreach and executing 1 time the echo command. Anyone has ideas?

rsh host "cd a/b
exe<< stop
1
2
stop
exe2<<stop2
a
b
stop2
foreach ptcluster (30 35 40 45 50)
echo PTCLUS=$ptcluster
end
"

I have read read the following statement, but I don't know if it is the real issue:
"When this command is read from the terminal, the loop is read once prompting with `foreach? ' (or prompt2) before any statements in the loop are executed. If you make a mistake typing in a loop at the terminal you can rub it out."
