: Wow that's cool! But I'm not sure quite how to interpret the syntax.

: why do the numbers in the second pair of parenthesis refer only to the
: second dimension of the array?

They don't; they treat the array in the preceeding parentheses as a 1-D
array. Since it has dimension 1 in its first dimension, the second
subscript effective ignores it.

Peter

P.S. This kind of subscripting is very useful, esp. in expressions like
xsize = (size(variable))(1). It's not immediately obvious that it
is legal, but in fact it is.
