Dick,
As you can conclude from
"To compare two arrays, simply use the = operator directly on them
rather than encoding them first."
the documenation, particularly with regard to arrays, is not always correct.
Moreover, I would expect that computers return the same value when doing
two equal calculations in the same way under equal circumstances.

in the same order.
The dictionary entry for arrayEncode says two equal arrays may have different
array encodings:
"Note: Arrays in LiveCode are un-ordered. This means in particular that encoding two
arrays will not necessarily produce the same result, even if the arrays had the same
elements. To compare two arrays, simply use the = operator directly on them rather than
encoding them first."
