 		Yep, just re-dim it.

Like this:


Graphics 800,600
Dim States$(5)
States$(0) = "California"
States$(1) = "Virginia"
States$(2) = "New York"
States$(3) = "Florida"
States$(4) = "Texas"
For i = 0 to 4
   Print States$(i)
Next
Dim States$(0)   ;  this line re-dims it
Print "States is now empty"
WaitKey()
End

Hope that helps.

 		Note that if you're using an old version of Blitz it probably won't work. I think that re-diming was busted for awhile, but I know it works in the later versions.
