Well for those of you who were stymied by my request you may be happy
to know I have coded the problem with success.  I would like to hear
comments from interested parties who try this routine.  I have tested
it extensively and found no problems but you never know for sure.

/*
InDesign Table Array Constructor

	The Process is to build an Array of tables in a document so that
working with the tables
	becomes a lot easier.  This method uses a recursion as a method of
building the index
	so don't be confused by the routine calling itself.  This is a way
of finding tables
	that are nested within tables.  If the tables are located in text
frames in table cells
	they are treated as additional stories and will also be added to the
table collection array.
