Getting vertex ID

[zbynek_travnicky]

I would like to create an array of vertex IDs of Editable_poly or Editable_mesh object.
Especialy when the IDs are not iterated in the row and may even exceed the count of verts in the mesh.
This looks like a simple task, but till now is seems as something impossible in MAX to achieve.
Anybody knows how to solve this puzzle, please?

Vertices have no material ID. This is a face/polygon attribute.
