On re-reading, my tone could be misunderstood... what I was trying to get at was to see if you *were* distinguishing this from "list context" having some other odd properties... like mistakenly thinking that something in "array context" would return its length if assigned to a scalar or something. I've seen whacko stuff like that in print before. People get the weirdest ideas about context, when it's so completely predictable and straightforward. I'm not sure how the memes get so hosed up. -- Randal L.
