I went to the array page, and "I think" I am doing the declation ok.

Help.

Should be

   char[][char[]] Proj;
   Proj["Quote"]      = r"Quotes\";
   Proj["Language"]   = r"Deliverables\";
   Proj["Technical"]  = r"Analysis\";
   char[][] pKeys     = Proj.keys;

SO-No-vah!

Thanks.  Perhaps Walter may want to put a small example on the Array
page. :-)  All there is there is the int[char[]].  I knew it was
something simple, but yet, complex!

Again, muchas gracias.

You can help by adding such an example to the 'comments' page attached 
to that page -- if there isn't one there already.  (Look for the button 
labeled "Comments" near the top of the page).

An entry in bugzilla will probably be noticed and acted by walter on quite 
a bit faster.  An entry in the wiki will be visible to the rest of the 
world faster.  So.. I'd suggest doing both if you have the drive, or 
bugzilla if you want the docs to ever be updated.

Later,

Try:

char[][char[]] Proj;

Associative arrays are declared by (value)[(key)]. Going by this, your 
declaration puts value == char and key == char[]. What you want is value 
== char[], so try type: char[][char[]].

alias char[] String;

I started doing it a while ago for all my projects :).
