I am getting "Error: Dimensions" when I try to use this
option default integer option base 1
dim Stuff(12, 4, 2, 5, 3)
This is only 1440 integer values, surely not too large. According to the docs, MMBasic is supposed to support arrays with 5 dimensions.
The firmware version is 5.05.05
Any clues?

Hi Bill,
IMHO you found your first BUG! Congratulation!
With "Option Base 1" I get the mysterious error even for DIM Stuff(1) - after I executed your code -, but not always reproducible. Strange!
I get an error for this:_
option default integer option base 1
dim integer test(1)
Without this both options:
option default integer option base 1
I can execute
DIM stuff(1200,4,2,5)
without an issue, but DIM stuff(12,4,2,5,0) results in an (Dimension) error.
I have never encountered problems related to DIM in the past.

Ok well I'm glad it's not just some idiot mistake of mine. I'll be interested in hearing Peter's take on this.

Ok, well, just a shot in the dark but:
If you ARE using OPTION BASE 1, then a dimension of value of 1 isn't actually a dimension - it's a single cell.
Without OPTION BASE 1 (ie BASE 0), then setting the value to 0 is again setting it to a single value which isn't an array then...
However, that doesn't explain why the OP's code didn't work.

This looks like a day-1 MMBasic bug. Will liaise with Geoff and fix in next release
