It's easy.  Just pass the label for the array, and index into it within
the macro.

For instance you can declare it as follows:

#macro Average(Array)
  #local I=1;
  #local Sum=Array[0]; // so that Sum is created as the same type as Array[]
  #while (I<dimension_size(Array,1))
  #local Sum=Sum+Array[I];
  #local I=I+1;
  #end
  (Sum/I)
#end

And then use it like this:

#declare BugaBoo=array[4] { 34,5,-17,8 }
#declare BugaBee=array[3] { <1,0,3>,x+y, <.3,.3,-.1>+z*2 }

#local s_ScalarAverage=Average(BugaBoo);
#local s_VectorAverage=Average(BugaBee);

Hope this helps,
John
