Does hypercard admit anything like arrays, or variables with one or 
more subscripts, as in x(5), y(23,17), etc?  I would dearly love to 
be able to write a little script on the order of

repeat with i = 1 to 100
   repeat with j = 1 to 4
       put word j of line i of card field whatever into x(i,j)
   end repeat
end repeat

with the understanding that hypercard would allow me to use the 
expressions   x(1,1), x(1,2), x(1,3), x(1,4), x(2,1), ... , x(100,4)
as variable names.

If it matters, I do not have hypercard 2.

If you can help me with this one, please reply to jvance@wsu (bitnet)
or jvance@desire.wright.edu (internet).  _Thanks_!
