Actually, it does do multiplication. It sums the multiplications done between the arrays specified.

But that raises something that I am confused about and maybe Peco can explain it. As explained by Microsoft, the arrays are supposed to be separated by commas. Sometimes I have to separate them with asterisks, as you say, or it doesn't work. Sometimes I have to use commas. Sometimes I have to use a comma here and an asterisk there.

Anyhoo, there seems to be an explanation here but I will have to read it later. Gotta hit the dusty trail.
