If I want to make lists of 4 flims in arrays...do i put this local Flims[1..4] or local Flims[4]? I am not sure of myself :(

LOCAL film[4] However, that would actually hold five numbers, not names - film[0]=54 film[1]=32 film[2]=23 film[3]=19 film[4]=67 If you want to hold the NAME of a film in an array you must use - film$[4] notice the "$" film$[0]="Star Wars" film$[1]="E.T." etc.

I thought [4] only hold 4. i.e. [0],[1],[2],[3] Jim

Something to clarify from my post to your other topic, so as to not confuse you. Basic data types such as Int, Float and String don't need the New bit, but Types do. (Read my other post and you will get that)
