Greetings!

When array data is imported or exported in any way (database in this 
case) you'll need to convert it. This can get slow when the data gets 
big (Megas), so it would be nice to have a command that converts that 
data.

   convert <data> to array [by <linedelim> [and <headDelim>]]

where lineDelim defaults to return and headDerim to "=". So:

   Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Hugh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Would be turned into an array with three entries, where the names are 
the keys to the mail address.

Another option would be to have the keys in a second variable:

   convert <data> to array [by <lineDelim>] indexed by <keys>


If this command does not find appreciation, how about array access 
from externals?


Regards
