Not directly FreeBSD related, but a good one for Annelise's Linux->FreeBSD
question archive.

I have a bash script that I wrote that does this :

	SERVERS[0]="ns1.example.net"
	SERVERS[1]="doppler.example.net"
	[..]
	SERVERS[x]="mail.example.net"

and then later :
	for i in ${SERVERS[@]}
	do
	    stuff
	done | ${MAILCMD} -s "${SUBJECT}" ${RECIPIENT}

Now, I _have_ read the manpage, but I cannot work out :

a) How to initialise an array in sh

b) How to access an array in sh.

Any enlightenment will be most welcome.
Note that RTFM is not a good answer in this case, as I already have - I
need a concrete example really.

Thanks,

Ceri
