Arrays

[Dan Shafer]

Good code samples, guys. But Ben should know (and probably does) that 
this will NOT work in a standalone since stacks in standalones can't be 
updated. (Well, of course what I mean is that it can't be used in a 
stack in a standalone if that stack is included/embedded in the app.)
