Yeah, I posted that question rather quickly.  I want to fill an array 
with a very simple, fixed dataset that will never change.  The code I 
gave above is from an old dialect, but really just the curved brackets 
should have been square.

for t=0 to 4
      for x = 0 to 4
          read v[t,x]
      next x
next t

data 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5......

Would read into the array v the data in the 'data' statement

v[0,0]=1
v[0,1]=2
and so on.
