ok, i think i have found the source of confusion on this "bug"

I have the manual for ver 3.61 printed out (It is a very well worn document, and we are not going to talk about the various stains that can be found on several pages ), and according to it a

dim $array[10]

would give you 11 spaces 0-10 in the array, but after printing out the 3.63 version....

it says that a

dim $array[10]

will give you 10 array spaces 0-9

Now the test to preform is, did the array function really change between 3.61 and 3.62?.... Survey SAYS!

nope, this appears to be a typo in the manual.

also, the 3.63 manual refers to arrays in 2 spots page 20(correct), and page 28 (wrong).
