This returns:
AA
BB
I am sure you meant:
put line y of it into temp[y]
I thought an array would be a more compact way to do what I originally wanted
to. It is a long story, but the processing needed to form the array was the
same as I had to do to in ordinary variables.
I am not sure that is true, of course.
It involved my silly license plate game, which I am sure everyone is talking
about, making words containing arbitrary groups of three letters.

on mouseUp
get "AA" & return & "BB"
repeat with y = 1 to 2
put it into temp[y]
end repeat
answer temp[2]
end mouseUp

Creating an unknown number of variables is a natural fit for arrays:
on mouseUp
get "AA" & return & "BB"
repeat with y = 1 to 2
put it into temp[y]
end repeat
answer temp[2]
end mouseUp
