I would like to read a table that looks like this: name len lamr lamv kr kv FEPE 54 0.2316 0.1544 0.4582 0.2030 H3NJ1W 60 0.2136 0.1826 0.1589 0.1244 NTSRIA 64 0.2087 0.1614 0.1730 0.1117 N2KF1U 74 0.2115 0.1560 0.1416 0.0826 LWBOA 75 0.1774 0.1910 0.0335 0.0352 LWPMA 81 0.1797 0.1809 0.0375 0.0378 Into two lists, one with the name of the column and a second with the actual values of the columns. I can read the data with ReadList[], but of course it chokes on the initial labels. Are there functions that allow me to read the first line into a list and do ReadList[] on the remainder? (What I want is the equivalent of Splus "read.table(...,header=T)" Bill Pearson
