I don't disagree with multidimensional, but the manual states that once
an array is activated with a varaible type you only can use that type 
further.
With arrays inside arrays you can build a multivariable array and that's the
point I would like to see in the manual. So mentioning BOTH can give a hint
in that directions.

Thank you for this information. I will see if it's not too complicated.
