The combine and split commands were written in the dark ages before we 
had multidimensional arrays.

I use recursive repeat loops to untangle multidimensional arrays into an 
editable text form (pseudocode):

put the keys of tArray into tKeys
repeat for each line tKey in tKeys
  if tKey is empty then # see if it's an array
   put the keys of tKey into tSubArray
   # recurse to process the array
  else
   # it's an actual empty element
  end if
end repeat
