Don,
Well thanks a million to Lars then, I started developing with ACS at version 4.1 and I don't know if it was working this way, or just undocumented, but this is the natural solution to my specific problem. I just carried over old developing habits to a new project without updating my knowledge of the API.
The reason I ask about the rownum array element is that multirow_name:rowcount isn't an array element, and when I thought I had to use tcl on the template page, the array var for the rownum lead to needing extra code to get what I wanted. Doesn't seem to matter too much any more.
