Me too! I am frustrated that once again Rev ships new features without full docs or full examples. Please anyone who deeply understands the new arrays teach all, thanks. :-)
Better yet a small library of wrappers that finish them off.
Just for the record, I did bug report the missing doc while testing.

If you haven't read the newsletter article I wrote or taken a look at the included stack you could start there:

<http://runrev.com/newsletter/july/issue53/newsletter1.php>

Then come back and ask any additional questions you have.

As for writing a wrapper, what sorts of routines are you looking for? There are three features I would really like to see but none of these can really be handled by a library. They need to be added to the engine. They are:

1) Ability to reference an multi-dimensional keys dynamically. Right now we have to build the array key reference and then use 'do'.

2) Ability to pass a key of an array by reference. Currently you can't do this:

on mouseUp
    put "Hi There" into theArray[1]["name"]
    DoSomething theArray[1]
end mouseUp

command DoSomething @pArrayA
    ....
end DoSomething

3) Ability to reference elements of an array in the order they were added to the array:

put element 5 of theArrayA
