Just to add to my earlier note, here is the code which is causing me such
pain. It appears to run without the macbugs, but when macbugs is on the
program crashes as soon as one tries to write to the record. I assume this
cant be good. :)

The key code is below.  (Note: The myArray.Top& workaround) 
Am I trying to do the impossible?

Thanks
David

globals

DIM RECORD MyRec
  DIM MYmean!
  DIM 63 MYString$
DIM END RECORD .MyRec

_bazillion      =1000000
_realMax        =1000

XREF @ gList.MyRec(_bazillion)

---------------------------------------------------
LOCAL FN enterData
DIM myArray.Top&

XREF@ myArray.MyRec(_realMax)

myArray.Top& = gList.Top&

FOR x = 1 TO 3
	myArray.MYmean!(x)      = x + 0.001	'crash big time here!!!
	myArray.MYString$(x)   = "The String"
NEXT x

'FN printData

err% = FN DISPOSHANDLE (myArray.Top&)             'trash handle when done

END FN

fn to set up handle:
LOCAL FN setUpData
  gList.Top& = FN NEWHANDLE (3 * _MyRec)
END FN

fn to clean up after
LOCAL FN trashData
  err% = FN DISPOSHANDLE (gList.Top&)             'trash handle when done
END FN
