*Everything* is possible with IDL. (Or so I'm told. I can't
see how it ever improved my backhand, however.)

I should think a pointer array, with each pointer pointing
to a numerical array of various lengths should do the trick.

Interestingly enough, this requirement was what pushed me
to use unrealized base widgets as pointers all those many
years ago. I had an array of unrealized base widgets, each
with a numerical array of a different size stored in the
user value. *Very* chic in those days. :-)

Cheers,

David
