Hi JIm,

>I don't see how a "m." in front of any array variable name would be "terribly confusing". I don't know of a rule that says that "m." is to be used for only 'single' memory variables.

Although on mDot I am probably more of a believer than you, in case of arrays there is at least one place the mDot is not allowed:

dimension laTmp[1]
Select * from whatever into array m.laTmp

whereas

COPY to ARRAY m.latmp

works. So I except arrays from mDotting.
