Re: n-dim arrays

[Jonathan M Hill]

Hello;

    Daniel Heiserer made a comment that hit me.  Any time I have
used multidimensional arrays, the extra dimensionality was used
simply to organize the data into a convenient structure.

    An example: Most often I find that a three dimensional array serves
as a convenient way to produce a list of two dimensional arrays.

    Rather than attempting to produce a three dimensional array,
perhaps someone would like to suggest a convenient way to produce a
list of arrays....
