Possibly. Or we just define infix .{}. and .[]. variants, or some such. : Also, does the reduction operator have the same magic as its alphabetic : twin such that it can pull N things at a time from the list for : operators that require N operands? No. [x] tokens are simple string matching. They have no internal structure, or we'll not be able to tell them from array composers. Larry
