Hi
Started new shell and problem went away, but arrays now seem to be
indexed from 1 rather than zero?? 

Did this change recently?

>From zshparam(1):

       Individual  elements  of an array may be selected using a subscript.  A
       subscript of the form `[exp]' selects the single element exp, where exp
       is  an arithmetic expression which will be subject to arithmetic expan-
       sion as if it were surrounded by `$((...))'.  The elements are numbered
       beginning  with  1,  unless  the KSH_ARRAYS option is set in which case
       they are numbered from zero.

And this has, as far as I know, always been the case.

Sorry false alarm, the original script used to run under bash, which I 
guess used zero indexing
