Arrays in sort/select processing

[Mike Schwartz (PC Support)]

     Is that period before the g a typo that is in your code?  It should be
a comma...

Then:   y=y(3,.0.g) + "1"

     That's all I see in a quick glance at your code.  I'm fairly sure you
can DIM an array in sort/selection processing and that there's nothing
different about using them there, as opposed to any other kind of
processing.
