Not in the DIM statement.  For XREF arrays, what you do is DIM the array 
to have more elements than you will possibly use.  What you are actually 
doing, it setting the _limit_ for the array, not the actual number of 
elements.  The size of your pointer (or handle) determines the actual 
number of elements in your array - not the number you supply in the DIM 
statement.
