One thing that would work, but isn't really elegant is to create an invisable field and use the various lines as elements of the array. The refernce to this would be similar to: add 23 to line k of field "Array" You could even extend this to two dimensions by using the word of a line, such as put 5 into word i of line j of field "2-D Array" Does anybody know of a better solution? -- Bill Faulkner * NCAR (Nat'l Center for Atmospheric Research) PO Box 3000 * Boulder, CO 80307-3000 * 303-497-1259 UUCP: faulkner@scdpyr.UUCP or ..!hao!scdpyr!faulkner INTERNET: faulkner@scdpyr.ucar.edu ARPA: faulkner%ncar@csnet-relay.arpa
