That is also the case with Matlab, anything mor complex than an array is beyond reach. I think it was Paul Graham (the LISP guru) once claimed he did not miss recursive functions while working with Fortran 77. The limitations of a language does stunt your mind. To that extent I am happy I learned to program with Pascal and not Fortran or Matlab. S.M. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
