I thought the last time it came up on the list, they said that wasn't
usable.  Hence it took (# of auto indexes) * lines of code to get around.

Mrm.  Interesting.  Thanks for the heads-up.

I don't know if I was just ambiguous in my example and we're talking
at cross purposes or not.  I suspect miscommunication on my part.  For
clarity's sake, I meant if you do:

     Then: lookup myalias = accounts i=a k=3
     ...
     Then: aa=4

...then myalias(aa) would -not- give you field 4 from 'accounts'.
