Yes, thanks Allard.  That too...do not put a '$' character in front of
the index variable when obtaining the value.  I'm still not sure about
when assigning, but it appears only to work with the '$' during assignment.

I've yet to find an example where they are setup the way that I intend
to use them however....every example I've found is of the type:

name=(a b c d e f...)

Where the assignments are in the script....I need very large string
values from an outside source, but this is working well.

Thanks again.
