But... Lingo's are REAL.

AFAICT... you are using strings... which *look* like multidimensional 
arrays, yet they would not *work* like multi-dimensional arrays. It 
looks to me more like you have a mechanism which allows *naming* and 
storing of variables in the same context as a multi-dimensional array. 
It looks like your version is basically a way to avoid coming up with 
unique names for a lot of variables... which is cool, and all, but 
that's all it is.

But how do they perform the same functions? For instance with a 
multi-level nested repeat loop iterating over the contents with a real 
multi-dimensional array? Or is there some equally convoluted code to do 
that?

Don't get me wrong. Cool solutions I can respect. But what works for 
you (or I) as a personal solution is not necessarily something which is 
portable to others - nor is it necessarily what they want or need.
