What do you mean? I meant that we already have functions assigning results to REPLY as an array, so that the suggested "array substitution" can be readily used with those functions. If a function uses "a different variable name" as you suggest, that function cannot be used with array substitution, which is not useful. Or do you intend to implement the array substitution to use a different variable name? -- Koichi
