Shouldn't be too hard. What about this?

zero = 0
one = 1
two = 2
three = 3
..
thirteen = 13

Now you can reference your array with my_array(nine) to get the tenth
element.

Or what about :-

the_median = my_array(0)
the_sum = my_array(1)
tenth_percentile = my_array(2)
etc

Is that what you mean? Or do you just want to access the values via a
loop :-

For i = 0,13 Do Begin
value = my_array(i)
;do some gonculations on value
End

HTH,

Andrew
