I'm working on a HyperCard stack which will compute statistics for data sets
of up to 30 variables.  While working on the computations for descriptive
statistics, I seem to have run into a snag - in order to compute frequency
distributions (and cummulative frequencies, medians and modes), I need
to use a couple of arrays.  

HyperTalk doesn't directly support arrays.  Is there some way to get the
same effect (by using variables names like VName & k, where k contains
a number that changes?)?  Has anyone come across this yet and found a
good solution?

Any help would be gratefully accepted.
