An example:

To see our top twenty tips, click Next:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip 5: When boiling eggs, add salt to the water.
Comment 5: Keep eggs cold until needed.
<First> <Prior> <Next> <Last>
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd like to fill an array with the tips, and then when the user clicks Next
it shows the next one. When she clicks Prior, it shows the prior one.

Also, I'm curious to know how to write code to do the above with two arrays
(so I can have two lines of text). How would you keep both arrays in synch.
Example: If we display the Tip 5 from the first array, I also want to
display the 5th Comment from the second array. For future flexibility, I
would prefer to have two arrays rather than all in one array.
