What's wrong with keeping explicitly the index of the current position, say j ? Then you can index the previous two items as chain[j-1], chain[j-2] and the item in the other list as otherchain[j]. If you're talking about something else, you need to clarify the problem more. George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
