  I paused the cursor over every button but this one. I kept looking for a
matrix button but didn't find it. When I read your answer I looked more
carefully and there it was.

  This is still not working for me. When I try to highlight the entire
matrix by moving the cursor over the 9 positions while holding down the left
trackball button, I get 9 little blue squares. Then I select the [] from the
left side of the delimiter widget and click on 'insert'. Now all my values
are gone, except for position 1,1 which has the bracket around it.

  When I try to highlight the entire math box I get a little bracketed box
either in front of or behind the matrix.

  Why the brackets don't enclose all 9 elements I don't know; I've tried it
3 times.

Thanks very much,

Rich
