In Dos Kermit 3.14 there seems not to be any variable arrays proper
(like in basic x$(i) where i index can be changin number), are there?

Do you know any work arounds for this (e.g. to define the name of a
variable to a numerical value)?

I would have much use for this feature in my scripts: select file names
from a directory listing is maybe the most important; then making
easily editable option lists; maybe a tiny editor; etc.

thank you
