Use (amazingly enough ;-) the keys function:

  get the keys of myArrayVariable

However, if you want to iterate through the elements of an array (rather
than using their keys), it's more efficient to use "repeat for each
element":

  repeat for each element myElement in myArrayVariable
    put myElement & return after field "Elements"
    -- or whatever action
  end repeat
