'seeing' arrays in the variable watcher

[Stephen Barncard]

the usual array test in a button...

on mouseUp
   global testArrayA
   put "test1" into testArrayA[1]
   put "test2" into testArrayA[2]
   put "test3" into testArrayA[3]
   repeat with n = 1 to 3
     put testArrayA[n]  & return after theOut
   end repeat
   put theOut
end mouseUp

returns in the msg...

test1
test2
test2

but I don't see anything different in the variable watcher. Under 
what conditions does one 'see' the arrays values in Rev 2.6??
