Im aware of ARRAY and would have used it but it only sets variables - you
cant reference the array by name or its elements as is common in other
programming languages.  

Would it be possible to use ASTDB and the "while" application?  For instance
the user inputs 3 numbers to be used for Follow me and the dial plan
iterates thru them checking for CF CW etc etc changing the numbers if needs
be then dialling.
