.SH DESCRIPTION
A multiple-valued field containing any number of names. Names are short series of characters generally used for labels or names, and are stored in a special table designed to allow fast lookup and comparison.
\&For most purposes, an \*(CbSoMFString\f1 field is probably more appropriate. 
.sp
\*(CbSoMFNames\f1 are written to file as one or more strings of characters. Names must begin with an underscore or alphabetic character, and must consist entirely
\&of underscores, alphabetic characters, or numbers. When more than one value is present, all of the values are enclosed in square brackets and separated by commas; for example: 
.nf
.in 1i

\f1\*(CbstartEditing()\f1 returns a pointer to the internally-maintained array that can be modified. The values in the array may be changed, but values cannot be added or removed. It is illegal to call any other editing methods
\&between \*(CbstartEditing()\f1 and \*(CbfinishEditing()\f1 (e.g. \*(Cbset1Value()\f1, \*(CbsetValue()\f1, etc). 
.sp
Fields, engines or sensors connected to this field and sensors are not notified that this field has changed until \*(CbfinishEditing()\f1 is called. Calling \*(CbfinishEditing()\f1 always sets the \*(CbisDefault()\f1 flag to FALSE and informs engines and
\&sensors that the field changed, even if none of the values actually were changed.
