UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am new to the UNIX environment, but not to programming. My intention is to create a 2D array and print it. Since the Korn Shell does not support that kind of variable, the following is my solution right now.
I have created a group of variables as follows:

table00
table01
table02
table10
table11
.
.
.
tablenn

My run into a brick wall when trying to print I have tried to display these variables with:

i=0
j=0
while [[ $i -lt $n ]]
do
while [[ $j -lt $n ]]
do
print "${table$i$j} "
let j=j+1
done
done

The above print command above does not print the value of table00, table01, etc. I get an error message saying that I am attempting to perform a substitution. I know this is something dumb on my part, but I would really appreciate any solutions or thoughts.

hi.

stop! there are arrays in a korn shell. it is nearly the same like in perl 5.*
----------------------------------------------------------------
syntax:

set -A myarray "one" "two" "three"
echo ${myarray[0]}
echo ${myarray[1]}
echo ${myarray[2]}

echo ${myarray[*]} # shows all
echo ${#myarray} # shows number of fields

myarray[2]="four"
echo ${myarray[2]}
----------------------------------------------------------------
hope it helps,
cheers,

Is it possible to print an array with a * character:
Ex.
echo ${table*[2]}

so that table1[2], table2[2], and table3[2] get printed? I know I cannot make an multidimensional array:
Ex.
table[][]

so I attempting to make multiple one-dimensional arrays.
Ex.
table0[0]
table1[0]
table2[0]

then print...

i=0
j=0
while [[ i < last ]]
do
while [[ j < last ]]
do
print "${table$i[$]}"
j=j+1
done
i=i+1
done

...which errors and declares invalid substitution. I incrementing
