Using Arrays

[Mike Bonner]

Forgot to mention, once you adjust the array you can then set the datagrid
to the new values by setting the dgdata of group "yourgrid" to tArray.

Depending on what you're doing, it may be more efficient to just update
values directly in the datagrid.  Here are some base links to datagrid
lessons that are pretty helpful, as well as the datagrid api info.
