I apologize if this is the wrong newsgroup to ask this, but I didnt get
any answers on comp.unix.questions. I need to find out how to do some
simple things in BASH:

1) set a shell variable

2) set a shell array/word-list (if such a creature exists in bash)

3) (re)set the positional parameters in a shell-script

4) unset the positional parameters in a shell script.

I know how to do all of the above in sh, ksh, and csh. I currently assume
that bash syntax (except for arrays) would be the same as sh syntax.

If bash does have arrays ... are they ksh style or csh style?

If bash has its own unique syntax for arrays, could someone tell me 
a bit about them (how to refer to a given item, a subset of items, find 
the number of items, shift the array, ...)
