But that only saves you 1 keystroke, and eliminates unary .. for any other use. : Regardless, my gut tells me that C< ^5 > is just a little too short : for what it does. I'd've felt the same way before I started revising S9, whereupon I discovered I wanted ^5 all over the place. It was either that or make special exceptions for lists containing one element, and that was gross. : Also, I find the argument that people will type : [EMAIL PROTECTED] and get confused fairly convincing. I dunno. I'm not confused by it, and I'm easily confused. Or maybe I'm just confused about not being confused... Larry
