  A : array(1 .. 10, 1 .. 100) of string(1 .. 11);
is a 2D array of 11 character strings, and you can say:
  A(4,5) := "hello world";
In general you can have an n-dimensional array of whatever, where whatever
is a character, a string, a bounded string, an integer, a record, another
array, etc.  Take a look at www.adapower.com for links to books, paper
and online, and tutorials, and of course lots of source code you can
peruse for examples.
