I tried the following:

<TEX>
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{9}{1}{% count from 1 to 9, step 1
     \def\lettersenderkey\recurselevel{}
     \def\lettersenderval\recurselevel{}
     \def\Sender\recurselevel#1#2{%
         \def\lettersenderkey\recurselevel{#1}%
         \def\lettersenderval\recurselevel{#2}}
}
\Sender1{Name}{Hraban}
</TEX>

--> ! Use of Sender doesn't match its definition.


Seems like \def\Something\recurselevel isn't valid.
(Sure, just confirmed in the TeXbook, numbers aren't considered  
command-word characters.)

After some hacking I learned how \setvalue works:

<TEX>
\def\Set#1#2#3{\setvalue{Key#1}{#2}\setvalue{Val#1}{#3}}
\def\Get#1{\getvalue{Key#1}/\getvalue{Val#1}}

\dostepwiserecurse{1}{9}{1}{
     \Set{\recurselevel}{K\recurselevel}{V\recurselevel}
}
\Set{1}{eins}{EINS}
\Set{2}{zwei}{ZWEI}

manually: \Get{1} -- \Get{2} -- \Get{3}

looping:
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{5}{1}{
     \Get{\recurselevel} --
}
</TEX>

results in:

manually: eins/EINS – zwei/ZWEI – K0/V0
looping: eins/EINS – zwei/ZWEI – K3/V3 – K4/V4 – K5/V5 –

Why do I get K0/V0 for \Get{3}? - it works with \recurselevel!
