&nbsp;<span class="Command">&nbsp;Arrays&nbsp;</span> 
<blockquote> 
  <p>Arrays are created using the standard BASIC '<b>Dim</b>' statement, and may 
    be of any number of dimensions. For example: </p>
  <blockquote> 
    <p><i>Dim arr(10)</i></p>
  </blockquote>
  <p> Creates a one dimensional array called 'arr' with 11 elements numbered 0...10.<br>
  </p>
  <p> Arrays may be of any basic type, or a custom type.<br>
    <br>
    The type of an array is specified using a type tag. For example: </p>
  <blockquote> 
    <p> <i>Dim Deltas#(100)</i></p>
  </blockquote>
  <p> Creates an array called 'Deltas' of 101 floating point elements. </p>
  <p>If the type tag is omitted, the array defaults to an integer array. </p>
  <p>An array may be dimensioned at more than one point in a program, each time 
    an array is dimensioned, it's previous contents are discarded. Arrays may 
    be dimensioned inside functions, but a corresponding 'Dim' statement of the 
    same array must also appear somewhere in the main program. For example:</p>
  <blockquote> 
    <p> <i> Dim test(0,0) </i></p>
    <p><i> Function Setup( x,y ) </i></p>
    <blockquote>
      <p><i>Dim test(x,y) </i></p>
    </blockquote>
    <p><i> End Function</i> </p>
  </blockquote>
