The classic way is to simulate an array using a string and some string
manipulation functions such as StringSegment.
Doug Lee's BX toolbox set of scripts has some very useful list and array
libraries that you may find of help.
It even has the ability to make a list of hashes, impressive.

Hi David,
Thank you again for your response. It has for certain opened up several
errors that I was perceiving and have now corrected. Ys, the asterisks =
seem
to have been added either by the lists, or my email program.
Is there any way to store an array or a set of information for retrieval
while running an application? Quickbooks has this little habit of =
renaming
and renumbering controls when each windows loads. I understand this is
necessary as it gives the ability for a multiple document capability. I
need to be able to loop through the controls in a systematic way, store =
the
info in an array or some sort of virtual list that I can query against.
Any ideas?
Thanks for all the help. Finally getting somewhere with this =
application!
