	Ideally, I'd hope we could have a function result type
be an array, allowing you to return any specified number of
results.  I believe you can do this if you want to mess with 
things a bit.  Since a string is the same as a character or
byte array, and we are allowed to return strings, declare the
function result type as a string.  If an array of bytes is a
useful result, you can refer to the results directly.  If you
want some other type of results (maybe even real), seems like
something with variant records could be done.  Describe the
result as a character array and as an array of reals, then
refer to the real names.  
	I haven't tried this, but it seems logical (which is
probably dangerous!).
	Good luck!

Harold
