	Hi,

	I was wondering, if I call .rehash on an existing AA, do I need to
assign the returned value to the original array (eg: "a=a.rehash;")
or is simply calling .rehash sufficient (eg: "a.rehash;")?

 Hi,

 assign the returned value to the original array (eg: "a=a.rehash;")
 or is simply calling .rehash sufficient (eg: "a.rehash;")?

Just calling it is sufficient.  AA variables are really pointers to a 
structure which holds a reference to the actual table.  Once you've filled 
in an AA, no matter how much you modify it, that original structure never 
moves.
