all the graphics stuff thats been done over the years. (ie, 
          put arrayA[] after/before arrayB[] using comma 
or 
          put arrayA[]&"," after/before arrayB[] 

          put arrayA[] into arrayB[] using before/after arrayB[3]

instead of doing a long loop walking the elements) Go for it!
