Re: embedded quotes and arrays ...

Hi Emilie,
           Use XSEQUENCE, YSEQUENCE, ZSEQUENCE or TSEQUENCE along with 
corresponding abstract axis index for repeat loop as shown below;

  yes?  let station = XSEQUENCE({"MID","KNO"})
  yes?  repeat/i=1:2 ( define symbol outfile`i` = `station`.irm.winter94.nc ; show symbol outfile`i` )
  OUTFILE1 = "MID.irm.winter94.nc"
  OUTFILE2 = "KNO.irm.winter94.nc"

  here XSEQUENCE and "i" are used. Similarly you can use YSEQUENCE & j or 
ZSEQUENCE & k or TSEQUENCE and l.

Hope this helps

with regards 

jaison
