sorry, I'll clarify the previous post

I have an array. Lets call this arr. The array has, lets say, 5 elements
so.. it looks like this
__________________________________________
|________|________|________|________|________|

now... inside EACH of these array elements, I would like to have more
arrays, lets say 4 elements in size.. so it would look like this

__________________________________________
|________|________|________|________|________|
     ___           ___           ___            ___           ___
    |___|          |___|         |___|           |___|         |___|
    |___|          |___|         |___|           |___|         |___|
    |___|          |___|         |___|           |___|         |___|
    |___|          |___|         |___|           |___|         |___|

So now, I would like to access, say, the 3rd element in the array, that is
inside of the 2nd array (arr). eg.

 __________________________________________
|________|___2____|________|________|________|
     ___           ___           ___            ___           ___
    |___|          |___|         |___|           |___|         |___|
    |___|          |___|         |___|           |___|         |___|
    |___|          |_3_|         |___|           |___|         |___|
    |___|          |___|         |___|           |___|         |___|


Now, I would not like to code this, mutlidimensionally. eg arr[5][4]..
because the rest of my coding wouldn't be compatible..

My question is this.

How would I be able to access this element?

I know this doesnt work but it would seem something like this..

arr[2].the2ndarray[3];

but not sure !! :(

Hope this clarifies

Thanks very much for your help,

Paul M.
