Don,

Actually, using a function is exactly how I handle multi-function
arrays.  It ends up something like:

   eval x=matx( MatxArrayIndex( x: y: z ) ) ** 2 + ...

where MatxArrayIndex() returns the index for x,y,z mapped to a
one-dimension index for array matx.  It can be used on either side of
the = in an eval.  And I can handle any number of dimensions.  For
that matter, I could easily even make the function use offsets for the
base instead of assuming 1.

As I've said before: adding support for creating our own procedures is
by far my favorite thing they have done to RPG.  Of course, as a
prerequsite it also required expression support and extended factor2,
which I also really like.  Now to just get CF specs ... <drool>
