But actually I was referencing the manuals for the questions being asked.
When it’s the 80s and computers were ‘new’ to the home, seeing a data array in a manual didn’t explain how or what you do with it.
So next step ask parents, whom also didn’t know.
Next step go to the library and ask if they had a book on BASIC or computers. The librarian shakes her head but leads you to the only computer book, which is like the 1960s history of the Mainframe. LOL
Data Array question finally got answered in a 1986 computer course offered at the highschool.

The old RTFM.
