Is there a way to create an array or list of numbers - many numbers, like 100 or 1000 or more?
From the Illinois website it looks as though a Holder is the only way to do this, copy in a Text object for each array/list element. This method doesn't seem to be the way to store large numbers of values into an array or list.

"Doesn't seem to be"... But can you elaborate a little bit more? It may be actually feasible with Text object. But, yes, such kind of large collection is not a common Etoys feature.
I once created a grid of the first 100 natural numbers: it wasn't pretty to create and took a few minutes of copy and paste. I ended up with a holder of holders (each containing a row of 10 Text objects.)
So it can be done but I think Yoshiki's suggestions of particles or textual script would be better.
