Also, if at any level of a string of record memberships, the subscripts could be distributed any way the programmer wanted. For example, with the reference "basics.second.third.numberx"... if the record "basics" was a 15 element array and the record "third" was a 12 element array, one reference to a selected "numberx" might be: basics(3).second.third(6).numberx. You get the *same* "numberx" with: basics.second.third(3,6).numberx. -- numerist at aquaporin4 dot com
