- Modifying a Table
  - A table must be created before it can be modified.
  - To modify an element of a table use the dot syntax. The element need not exist before being set.

        nM> get table1
          T: TABLE1          = Table of 3 entries
          L:  ONE            = 1
          L:  TWO            = 2
          L:  THREE          = 3
        nM> set table1.ten 10
        nM> get table1
          T: TABLE1          = Table of 4 entries
          L:  ONE            = 1
          L:  TWO            = 2
          L:  THREE          = 3
          L:  TEN            = 10
