Assigning Array Elements
========================

   Array elements can be assigned values just like `awk' variables:

     ARRAY[SUBSCRIPT] = VALUE

ARRAY is the name of an array.  The expression SUBSCRIPT is the index
of the element of the array that is assigned a value.  The expression
VALUE is the value to assign to that element of the array.
