Would there not be a greater benefit if the split command or another "new" split command support the creation of a 2D array? Arrays are very powerful but if you need to write repeat loops to work with them in one direction you seem to lose a lot of the power.
I would love to hear what others think about this...maybe I'm missing the point?

Sorry about the cryptic response.
Transpose expects a "2D" array, not an array of rows.
The key of the "2D" array is a pair of numbers, like this: "4,5"
I read this...I have a field "test" 1 23 33 2 12 67
...as your really wanting this: put 23 into a[1,1] put 33 into a[1,2] put 12 into a[2,1] put 67 into a[2,2]
That puts the values into a "2D" array.
What you would get if you split the above field, is the same as this:
put 23 & tab & 33 into a[1] put 12 & tab & 67 into a[2]
