RE: This is confusing me. What are these lines of code doing?

I've seen this technique used when the five fields are also displayed on the
screen, Booth.  Since you can't put an array field name in the DDS, you
instead define the five specific fields in a data structure, and then
specify an array over those five fields.  This allows you to loop through
the five fields using an index.
