Yeah, I know that feeling ;) Some "foreach" would come in handy, too... oh, I
see you mention that in your post as well...

See above. It *should* to the job, although I might have added some typos.

It gets somewhat problematic if you need to later add more elements to the array
though: There simply isn't such a thing as a List<T> in POV SDL.

I must confess I haven't a clue what you intend to do. Can you try to rephrase
that?

I think at times it's a much more beautiful one ;)
