  s.Append('b=2');
  s.Append('c=3');
  s.Append('d=4');
  s.Append('e=5');

  WriteLn(s.Strings[2]);         // c=3
  WriteLn(s.Names[2]);           // c
  WriteLn(s.Values[s.Names[2]]); // 3

  s.Values['e'] := '51';
  WriteLn(s.Values['e']);        // 51

  s.Values['f'] := '6';
  WriteLn(s.Values['f']);        // 7
