Hi David,

   The problem I had when ever I tried to do that was ${QRY_LINE} would 
be the results split on any white space, so every word was a line, 
regardless of whether it was space, tab or newline seperated... a lot of 
the (real) data contained one of more words... I need something that 
would populate the array by splitting on newline and then split the 
containing data into variables on 'tab'.
