Hi,
this has uncovered sloppy coding on my part more than anything else. While variables are initialised to zero or "" when declared, the contents of arrays are not. In fact, they (usually?) contain the value stored in the previous execution of start(). At least this is certainly the case with string arrays.

I have now written three initialisation routines like this one for string, double and int arrays

void InitialiseStringArray(string& arr[])
{
for (int i = 0 ; i < ArraySize(arr) ; i++) arr[i] = "";
}

and declare arrays like this

start()
{
string strItems[10]; InitialiseStringArray(strItems);
// ....
}
