Why won't all the array elements display?

Question

Hello,
I am trying to learn about manipulating arrays.  The example finder includes this one," build array_forum.vi", which shows the two modes, concatenate and append, which I can understand, HOWEVER, I cannot figure out how they built this vi.  For example, I can find the Build Array function, but, I cannot understand how they created the "array of numeric data 1"  "array of numeric data 2"...etc, and I cannot find the functions on the palettes that result in the display "build array concatenate inputs".  Where are these blue functions????
Where are these functions found on the palette, and how does one construct them like this?
The other vi shown here, "for loop array_forum.vi" is my attempt to duplicate it, but, it does not show all the elements of the array; instead it displays only ONE element, the last element of the array.  How do I display all the elements of the array I am trying to create using the FOR LOOP?  Am I doing something wrong with the FOR LOOP?
Thanks,
dave

Hello Tim and Nilquist,
Thanks for your help.  Let me re-state my question.  I have studied the Labview basics, and I understand about REPRESENTATION, data types etc., but, take a look at the attached vi.  In it, I have added an indicator, and the indicator I have added is called ARRAY by default, and it is the shape of a large box.  The original indicators in the original example are small boxes are labelled I-32.  Where did the original indicators come from?  Is my indicator identical to the original ones? I am using LV2011 basic.
Thanks,
DAve
