I hate to reinforce any perceptions of my curmudgeonliness, but for the benefit of newcomers here it may be useful to remind folks that while this indexed array is scripted, Rev's built-in associative arrays are just as "real" as associative arrays in any other language (and sometime more useful than strictly numerically indexed ones).
It's "real", but it is NOT *within* another array. In Rev, you cannot do something equivalent to
put "abc" into a[1] put "def" into a[2]
put "ghi" into b["z"] put a into b["y"]
which you can (with different syntax) in Perl, Python, (I think) Ruby, ....
I'm not particularly claiming that it's good practice to do so :-) - but you can do it.
