I think that I've found a solution that will work for me - a simple
linked list.

TYPE
 String* = ARRAY ?? OF CHAR;

 Form = POINTER TO Cell;
 Cell = RECORD
      key: String;
      value: ARRAY ?? OF CHAR;
 END;


That will give me _lots_ of practise using O-2 arrays, pointers and
records.

Thanks for your and other's constructive and helpful input. It was
much appreciated! Merry Christmas!! everybody ...
