Hi guys,

Need to pick you brains on Arrays.

Looking at Arrays in the Archimedies User Guide (vintage July 1987), I 
have come to the understanding that it is possible to declare an array 
local to a function or procedure.  Having tried to do this, I keep getting 
Syntax Error.

I am trying using: LOCAL DIM a$(1,1)

Also tried different permutations, but all come back with Syntax error.

Am I barking up the wrong tree here or just completely misunderstanding 
the examples provided?

Any advice examples you can give, much appreciated.
