This is a post from Phineas, from Oct. 10, 2000. It might help a
little, although it doesn't address your question about NULL.

Would y'all believe that Clan Lord macros already support arrays?
It's an
undocumented feature!
The syntax:
set <variable_name>[<number>] <value>
or
setglobal <variable_name>[<number>] <value>
Example:
"array"
{
set name_list[1] "Aki"
set name_list[2] "Haze"
set name_list[3] "Sleipnir"
//
set counter 1
label loop_top
name_list[counter] "\r"
message "This is name array " counter "."
pause 2
set counter + 1
if counter != 4
goto loop_top
end if
}
I also understand that two dimensional arrays will work as well as
nested arrays:
set <variable_name>[<number_1>][<number_2>]
set <variable_name>[<number_1>[<number_2>]]
should both work (I haven't found a use for two dimensional arrays, so
I
haven't played with them at all). I have made several macros that use
arrays,
and they rock.
One word of advice: when initializing arrays, use global variables
with global
arrays, and local variables with local arrays. Don't mix them up, or
your
array will not initialize properly.
setglobal <global_variable>[<global_number>] <value>
is good.
setglobal <global_variable>[<local_number>] <value>
is bad, and will result in the array not being set correctly.
Yes, this is the voice of experience speaking. <g>
