Concisely AppleScript doesn't have Arrays per se. It has lists which
are implemented as linked lists. It is possible to force them to be
stored as arrays(or it used to be) but there isn't much practical
purpose to it.
set foo to {} --makes an empty list
set bar to every word of "This is a test"
set baz to {} & "This" &"is"&"a"&"test" --yields the same as the above.
--to add to foo
set foo to foo & 1
--{1}
set bar to 1&bar
--{1, "This" ,"is","a","test" }
item 3 of bar
-- "is"
-Mark
Array is like a shark except squished all flat.
