You can use grid to edit multi-dimensional arrays too
(('CELLEDIT';1),:'AXISNAMES';<;:'first second third fourth') grid i. 3 4 5 2
The display of the data is alterable by dragging and dropping axis labels (you
can drag them to the top of the grid too so you can show the desired slice.).
Note that altering the display of the grid doesn't change the shape of CELLDATA.
