Well, it's the only way I've found so far in the docs, forums or
examples that is similar to the user defined type arrays from VB.

Sorry but, could you give an example? Not really sure how to do this.

I sort of figured it was something like that.

I don't have any problem with it, its just not clear to me from the
docs. As to being the same in most, I can't really tell. OOP is still
somewhat a grey area for me. I use objects and classes here and there,
but mostly can't quite tell why or when to use the approach. Also, a
concept like the UDTs seems more logical to me in this instance.
Gambas sort of "forces" me to program in a more OOP way, which I see
as a good thing mostly.
