I'm happy if my script helps your learning.

Maps are very useful, even more so in conjunction with the snapshot
feature of Alan's vars plugin. With a snapshot, you can use a map to
implement a dictionary (a contextual map). Dictionaries are a central
concept of may programming languages, and PowerPro's got them!
(well, sort of, perhaps a purist could frown a bit).
Some day I'd like to explore combining PowerPro object programming
with maps and the vars plugin. It sounds to me like a powerful mix...
