Supporting negative indices allows right-to-left indexing without having to find the length of the list. Not supporting arbitrary indexing allows error detection when the list does not contain enough elements. Also, shouldn't this thread be in general, rather than chat? I thought chat was supposed to be for non-J related discussion (that happens to be of interest to people interested in J). -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
