Joerg,
   I pasted below this message the code that I have. I think I did pretty 
well on it. The only part I'm currently having an issue with is removing an 
item from the array.I want to be able to remove one of the names and have 
the other items fill the empty spot.  I know that there is a built in 
function to do it, but I'd like a literal method that will show me step by 
step what it's doing. As I've done with the other methods, like add, and 
search, etc. Hope this helps.  Thanks for the help.
