Creating array containing file names

I am wondering how I can save the file names (stored in $file or $fnames) in array which I can access with an index.

Code:

  alias MATH 'set \!:1 = `echo "\!:3-$" | bc -l`'

  set narg = $#argv
  while ($iarg < $narg)
   MATH iarg = $iarg + 1
   set arg = $argv[$iarg]
   set opt = ` echo $arg | awk 'BEGIN { FS="=" } { print $1 }'  \
                         | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" `
   set par = ` echo $arg | awk 'BEGIN { FS="=" } { print $2 }' `

   switch ($opt)

    case "-j":
        set Asize = $par
        set widthbase = `echo $Asize | awk '{split($1,a,"/"); print a[1]}'`
        set heightbase = `echo $Asize | awk '{split($1,a,"/"); print a[2]}'`
        set optsize = 1
        breaksw

   default:
      set file = `echo $arg | awk 'BEGIN {FS="."} {print $1}'`
      set fext = `echo $arg | awk 'BEGIN {FS="."} {print $2}'`
      set fnames = "$fnames $arg"   # Store the file names
      set fexten = "$fexten $fext"   # Store the file extensions
      MATH nf = $nf + 1
    endsw

  end   # while

NAME

       print - shell built-in function to output characters to the screen or window

SYNOPSIS

   ksh
       print [ -Rnprsu [n]] [arg...]

DESCRIPTION

   ksh
       The shell output mechanism. With no flags or with flag - or -, the arguments are printed on standard output as described by echo(1).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n	       suppresses new-line from being added to the output.

       -R

       -r	       (raw  mode) ignore the escape conventions of echo. The -R option will print all subsequent arguments and options other than
		       -n.

       -p	       causes the arguments to be written onto the pipe of the process spawned with |& instead of standard output.

       -s	       causes the arguments to be written onto the history file instead of standard output.

       -u [ n ]        flag can be used to specify a one digit file descriptor unit number n on which the output will be placed. The default is 1.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful operation.

       >0	Output file is not open for writing.
