Numeric field

[Brian Yennie]

If your data comes in simple 1-to-1 key/value pairs, you may want to 
try arrays:

put testValue into lookupTable[intelligenceKey]

You can also load/unload arrays from text:

## loads comma-delimited lines from a field
put fld "myData" into myArray
split myArray using return and comma
...
put myArray[3] into scoreNumberThree
add 6 to myArray[3]
etc...
...

## unloads the current contents of the array back into the field
combine myArray using return and comma
put myArray into field "myData"

HTH,
Brian
