Having neither programmed in SNOBOL4 of SPTOBOL I have no clue as to what
pitfalls await those who have when they come across to Rev, but you may wish
to take up the invitation on the very first page of the Rev Docs:

Please send all comments and feedback to:
userguide at runrev.com
All comments will be read and you will receive a reply.

>From my perspective I don't believe that changing the name from Array to
Table would solve much if the example still uses the number 17. If the
example was:

delete global myTable[seventeen] --removes the element whose key is
'seventeen' from the array

I believe would not have wasted your time, but then again I haven't come to
Rev with your background so I'll leave it up to you as to what send to
userguide at runrev.com to help others not fall into the same trap you have.
