Hi-
  Perhaps someone can help me with a simple (I assume) problem I'm
having with AmigaBasic and can't get around no matter what I try.

The problem is simple: I'm trying to given a array argument to a 
SUBprogram.  The manual sure makes it look like it is supposed to work,
but everything I try earns me a "type mismatch" on the CALL statement.

For example:
   SUB pcell (a(1), i) STATIC
     print a(i)
   END SUB

   DIM x(10)
   x(1) = 1.5
   PRINT x(1)
   CALL pcell(x, 1)

The PRINT works find, but I get the aforementioned "type mismatch" error
on the CALL statement.  What am I doing wrong??

Much thanks
  /Bernie
