erm, isn't it obvious? 
Really needs an example (i've got a nice generic school script which ill post later), but essentially..
Say you've got an array like :
and you've got a nice lil function that loops the array, building up an OSD or something.
Now you can call the function with the array as a parameter, e.g :
So.. if you want to display a different list (for a different school building for instance), you can just create another array ( $maSkillsList2 for instance ) and call the same display function as in :
Hence I can now go and delete about 60% of my script code, making everything much more maintainable and generic. Well i consider that a woot :]

Nice. One of the rare times where 'more generic' is a good thing =).

mebbe 'reusable' is a better term.. and that's always a good thing in code land.
