So when are we going to see the other math functions mapped onto lists, the way that the basic binary operators are? I'd love to see < and >, or sin and cos handled in the same way, but the syntax would need to specify that the operator should be mapped across the items of the list. LISP has a feature called mapcar which is VERY cool. You can use it to call an arbitrary function on *all* the items in a list (individually) and you get a list of results of all the function calls back. Beautiful. Good wishlist item. -- _____________ Brennan [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
