This looks amazingly similar to another thread I've seen today.  Anyway, something like this will store it in an array:

delete [all v] of [grid v]
set [i] to (0)
repeat ((width) * (height))
change [i v] by (1)
set [depth v] to (round((i/width)-[0.5]))
set [# v] to (pick random (1) to ((depth)*(100)))
if<(#) < [40]> // play around with these numbers for rarity.
add [dirt] to [grid v]
else
if<(#) < [170]>
add [stone] to [grid v]
else
if<(#) < [200]>
add [granite] to [grid v]
end
end
end

Just keep adding more if statements in order of least rare to most rare.  You'll get a grid that is basically 2 dimensional.  To access an item on the grid, use this:

(item (((y)*(width))+(x)) of [grid v])

item zero has the coordinates (1,0) (remember, "y" begins at zero, and "x" begins at one)
