User Guide definitions combine to produce a splitting headache

[Jim Ault]

Yes, 
the split command creates the array and
the combine command converts an array to text

put "vanilla' & tab & "ice cream" into banana
put "chocolate" & tab & "ice cream" into line 2 of banana
put "dairy" & tab & "whipped cream" into line 3 of banana
put "strawberry" & tab & "ice cream" into line 4 of banana
put "fudge" & tab & "topping" into line 4 of banana
put "cherry" & tab & "on top" into line 4 of banana
split banana using cr and tab -- yields and array with the keys of

vanilla
chocolate
dairy
strawberry
fudge
cherry

so that   banana["cherry"] is "on top"
