155 NEW: Dict.prg
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a new sample file that contains functions to model arrays
as dictionary objects.
A dictionary is a list of keyed entries where each entry consists
of a character key and a value of any type. New keys and values
can be entered, and existing values can be retrieved based on their
key.
Dictionaries are useful if you want to keep a list of keyed values
without using a database (.dbf) file. Since they're arrays, you
can hang onto them with any variable or array element (handy for
keeping track of multiple cargo items, for example). If you have
lots of values, however, a database/index is usually more
appropriate.
