Passing parameters by reference

[Dar Scott]

Oh, that would be cool!  

Maybe the array could be global (or passed as a parameter) and the subscript passed.

This works:

add 1 to a["x"]

...  it seems like a reasonable thing to do.  There might be problems I don't see right off, such as access to the same array at two different levels at the same time.
