No, we can assign A0 the value of 1 then we can use that to work with the
array. In VADV, variables do not have a prefixed dollar sign. The dollar sign
is used to specify the array.

' Assign variable A0 the value of 1
LET A0 = 1
' Assign array element 1, a string value.
LET $1 = "This is a test"
' Print the array by referencing the value of A0.
? $A0

That should print "This is a test".

This concept allows you to use loops with the array.
