Ah. OK, that makes sense. I don't think that I realized that a variable
could be "called into existence" in the context of "for each line x", and
therefore I assumed that it was a "pipe" and that it had some hidden
significance.
Thanks for clearing that up. The list conversation on arrays has enabled me
to eliminate roughly 350 lines of code (so far) in my current project. I
believe at this point I have used some variant of every suggestion received
at different points in the process.
