Hi Everyone,

     Can the "for each" form of the repeat structure be used to transform 
one itemized list into another? 

     For example, if variable X = 2, 4, 6, I'd like to create variable Y 
as the square of the items of X, so that Y = 4, 16, 36.

     I tried doing this:

          Repeat for each item i in X
               put i^2 into item i of Y
          end repeat

     But what I get is a long list of commas (empty items) and a single 
number at the end (36).

     Any thoughts on this?

          Regards,

               Greg
