Uhmm, I don't think that IDE has much to do with it. You probably ment
the compiler.

About the function. That is always the possibility. Unfortunately
(unfortunately? :-) my compiler (cvf66c) does sup****t the sum
intristic, but looks like I understood it's capabilities the wrong
way. I didn't understood the mask option.
As far as I have gone with the sum intristic is that it can summ all
elements in specified dimensions of an array.

I didn't understand (no examples in help either) how can one sum just
some elements from an array ...

p.s. I know this is a little dumb question for some people here. But
I'm a self learned fortran user, learned what i know through reading
old manuals and by figuring out someone else's code.
So far I always found it better just to ask, what seems a dumb
question, and to bear critics for a while, but to get some idea from
other people's answers, than to keep on doing something in a way which
is, for one reason or another, wrong.
