Hi Rolf, Try prepending the word list to make it a list . I assume $1 skips the first word as an indicator (if not a number; e.g. float, symbol, list) , while [list split] automatically makes lists and symbols out of the input. On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 3:34 PM, ro...@dds.nl wrote: output:

I'm not sure why the people replying to you are feigning ignorance on how this situation could possibly be confusing.  You're chopping off the word one with [list split] and leaving it intact on the other message; yet the dollarsign substitution gives you the same output in both cases.

Thanks Jonathan for the detailed response and pointer to the docs. As a longtime (but somewhat sporadic) PD user this list behavior still becomes a bit fuzzy to me sometimes, and this helps make it much more clear. -s On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 1:30 PM, Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com wrote:
