  Nevermind, Rex showed me how to get around that problem.

  Thanks for this Rex.

  This seems to work well for me, but is there a way to have commas in a cell without it screwing up the loading of an array? For example, if I want a string value of "Hello, how are you?" in one cell, is there a way to specify that that comma NOT be interpreted as a new cell?

  Close, that gets me almost all the way. The CSV plugin uses Comma-separated values, so I can't use any sentences with commas. Is there a % code that I could use instead of commas in my text?

  Is there a way to preset values in an array? I'm trying out a menu driven game that will be text heavy, and arrays seem to be the best way to organize dialogue and statistics, but there doesn't seem to be a good way to fill in the array without a giant "On start of layout" action with a jillion Set(X,Y) commands. If there's a way where I could copy/paste or even directly import an XLS or CSV file, things would go a lot faster.

  Thanks for any ideas/suggetions.
