Hello!

I have a Problem Programming a variable Array handling Program.
Here is the Problem:

Dimension a(2)
a(1)="Hello"
a(2)="I am Marvin"

?a(1,1) -> Delivers "Hello"
?a(2,1) -> Delivers "Hello" ... this really brings me to confusion

?alen(a,1) -> delivers 1 ...WHY??? Why not 2

So I work around my Problem with alen(a,2).
Now I decide to let my Array be 2 Dimensional. Great so long...

Dimension a(2,3)
a(1,1)="Hello"
a(1,2)="C"
a(1,3)=1

a(2,1)="I am Marvin"
a(2,2)="A"
a(2,3)=2

?alen(a,2) -> delivers 3 ... which is not the Value I'd like to work with.
So I use the :
?alen(a,1) -> delivers 2 ... juhu

This lets me decide to use the Multi Dimensional Array like this
Dimension a(2,3)
a(1,1)="Hello"
a(2,1)="C"
a(3,1)=1

a(1,2)="I am Marvin"
a(2,2)="A"
a(3,2)=2

But.. how do I delete a complete element...
ok with adel(a,2,2)
Now I'd like to have a look with the Debugger... no chance to get the correct Display.

Why does the Afields(a) command show me the incorrect way?
Many questions, but no solution. All I know is that this behaviour is more than confusing to me.
Just wanted to let out my confusion.... *ggg*
