Hi Richard,

please send requests like this to the Mercury Users' mailing list: the
Mercury Bugs list is just for reporting bugs.

We're very happy to offer assistance, but it's hard to help without more
information.  How exactly do you try to run the compiler?  What output
is printed when you try?  Did you install Mercury yourself?  Which
version are you trying to use?

Are you sure your assignment is to use an array and not a list?

I've attached the gzipped postscript of the first few chapters of a
tutorial text book on Mercury which should be some help.
