Using [expr~ pow($v1,$v2)] instead of [pow~] is exactly the sort of ugly and confusing thing that sabotages learning, don't you agree? Why we don't make the vanilla object set operationally complete is beyond me. There are less than 10 essential missing objects and less than 20 desirable ones. Why build a bridge 90% across the river and expect people to jump the last few meters? -- Use the source _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
