Actually, I have a related question, for which if it's obvious I
apologize in advance.

Not sure how to put this precisely, but....

Let's say I have an array called "happydays".

I'd like to make a function that would take the string 'happydays',
and say, return the min and max of the array with that name:

out=some_function('happydays')
where out is the string:

'The max and min of HAPPYDAYS is 0 and 15"


Just as well, would be something like:

out=some_function(happydays)
and out is the same string as above.

In other words, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way to find
the original name of a variable that was passed to a sub-program or a
function....

Thanks in advance,

Mark
