how do you access characters in arrays of character*n?

I am using Vax Fortran, and would like to access individual characters in
an array of character*n:

	character*n	a(m)

I want it to be "m lines of n character 'strings'", but fortran won't let
me access character y in "line" x with:

		a(x,y), or a(x)(y)...

what to do?	(BTW, I have read the Vax Fortran manual, and it is little
help in this particular area.)

	Thanks,
