Hi Phil, Thanks very much. You solved my problem. I was unaware of "delete variable myArray[tKey]" That is very fast.
It appears that this works as well: repeat for each key tKey in the keys of arrayOne delete variable arrayTwo[tKey] end repeat This provided a very simple way to "subtract" elements of one array from the other.

It's not what you wanted but it would work.
