There is no direct support for arrays in ash...you have to use eval,
setvar, etc:

- To set varibles:
    for index in 1 2 3 ; do
      setvar myvar$index "Index: $index"
      eval myothervar$index=\"Index: $index\"
    done

- To use variables:
    for index in 1 2 3 ; do
      eval echo \$myvar$index
    done

    index=2
    eval assign="\$myvar$index"
    echo $assign

NOTES:
------
- Be careful with quoting when using eval!

- Bash doesn't have the setvar command, so you might want to stick with
using eval
