For more information, we had a long thread about arrays in Rev back in July (I put out a small "dissertation" on arrays at that time: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2004-July/039379.html) In any event, we really do need better array manipulation for multidimensional arrays (or simulated ones). Personally, I'd rather have the real thing if we can get it; if not, I'd accept simulated ones as long as we have accessor functions to get at the embeded data more easily.
