/* $DOC$
* $FUNCNAME$
* FT_AAVG()
* $CATEGORY$
* Array
* $ONELINER$
* Average numeric values in an array
* $SYNTAX$
* FT_AAVG( <aArray> [, <nStartIndex> [, <nEndIndex> ] ] ) -> nAverage
* $ARGUMENTS$
* <aArray> is the array containing the elements to be averaged.
*
* <nStartIndex> is the first array item to include,
* defaults to first element.
*
* <nEndIndex> is the last array element to include,
* defaults to all elements.
* $RETURNS$
* The average of the specified array elements.
* $DESCRIPTION$
* This function is used to get a numeric average of selected or all
* elements of an array.
*
* This routine requires FT_ASUM().
* $EXAMPLES$
* FT_AAVG(aSubTotals) // Get Average of Entire Array
*
* FT_AAVG(aSubTotals, 5) // Get Average of 5th Element On
*
* FT_AAVG(aSubTotals, , 10) // Get Average of 1st 10 Elements
*
* FT_AAVG(aSubTotals, 5, 10) // Get Average of Elements 5-10
* $END$
