[Tutor] Write array to Status text

[Stanfield, Vicki {D167~Indianapolis}]

Okay, it looks like an array but when I do this I get an error saying
that:

'list' object has no attribute 'tostring'

So I guess it is really a list. It looks so much like an array in C. I'm
afraid that I don't see the reason for both existing. Is there a place
where I can find out more about the differences? I'm sure that I could
use a real array for what I am doing if I only understood the difference
between arrays and lists.

This looks like what I need, but I have to wait until I am in my office
again on Monday to be sure. Thanks.
