Am I missing something?  I am wanting to use an associative array with
indicies being themselves part of an array ( array of strings ).

Something like this:

  $areacode{ $phone[0] } = $areacode { $phone[0] } + 1;

Where $phone[...] is an array of strings containing :
	713
	MAL

	etc.....  ie ... they can be text strings and number'd strings.

Is this possible?  ( I already tried printing it out %areacode with
		     negative results )
