Most "modern" (as in, late 80s on) BASIC dialects let you REDIM or ERASE an array.

Yes, but my reply is to a person who advocates BASIC as closer to assembly language. In this context, "BASIC" ought to be understood as Ye Olde Line-Number, Unstructured programming, BASIC, not the well featured, structured programming Turbo Basic or Quick Basic...

... which, by the way, i enjoyed using a lot when I was a kid.
