another way to fake arrays is to use the do command. eg, suppose
you want to initialize 10 variables of the form X1.. X10 to 0. you
could do the folowing:

repeat with n = 1 to 10
 do "put 0 into X"&n
end repeat

the X(*) or X[*] sytnax for arrays cannot be achieved because
the only symbols allowed in variable names are letters, digits
and the underscore.

hope this is useful.
