There are two kinds of arrays in Gambas:

** "Java-like" arrays

They are objects of the following classes:
Integer[], String[], Object[], Date[], Variant[].

They have only one dimension.

You declare them this way: they are always void at startup.

DIM MyArray AS NEW Integer[]

They are dynamic, and have a lot of useful methods applying to them.

** "native" arrays

You declare them this way:

DIM MyArray[Dim1, Dim2, ... ] AS Integer/String/...

You can have up to eight dimensions.

They are NOT objects. They are allocated on the stack if you declare them 
local to a function, or inside the object data if you declare them global.

But they are not dynamic. They can't grow or shrink once declared. You can 
only only put an get data into them.

Hope things are clearer now !
