From: dBit AS 
I have tried using the GetGlobalStr function for a kind of "associative 
arrays" (like Perl).
  EditFile("customer.lst")   --->   10001Customer name # 1
  Repeat                            10002Customer name # 2....
    Key = GetText(1,5)
    Data = GetText(6,30)
    SetGlobalStr(Key,Data)
    StopIt()
    Message(CurrLine())
  Until Not Down()
After about 255 (I guess) loops this slows down significantly.  Is there
a smarter way to accomplish this ?  How many SetGlobalStr/Int variables 
can be created - are there any limit at all ??
By the way: I finally got my 2.5 .UI converted to 2.8 - ready for 3.0 :)
