I'll add it to my wish list. :-)
It's just a small array so for now looping doesn't bug me too much.
Maybe when I need an industrial strength solution.
Thanks Jules.

Ah, could do.

But this is getting uglier than I thought.
I just wondered if there was any internal way to parameter sum().
e.g. my_array.sum(0,3);

That kind of thing.
Looks like no.
