Yep. I've seen it. Whether I use echo or printf, the issue is
the same. (Actually, my finished script won't output to the
console at all.)

There are examples all over the 'Net using the form:

for i in 1 2 3...
do
  action "${ArrayName[i]}"
done

... but I've yet to find one where the variable (i) appears
*before* the square brackets, in the place of ArrayName.
