Hrm. I've posted an explanation several times, so this one will be the
*really short* version. An a-list is like a database record - supply the
key, and you get data stored under that key back. In languages that support
it natively, can use the keys like array indexes, like so:

   info = car["toyota"]

   author["euphoria'] = "robert craig"

Jiri's written a library implementing them in Euphoria.
