Section 2.13.1 of the Mathematica Book, v3 gives:
In[1]:=$PreRead = StringReplace[#, {"<<" -> "{", ">>" -> "}"}]&
And now, supposedly
In[2]:=<<4,5,6>>
Out[2]:={4,5,6}
But when I try this, I get an "Incomplete expression" error.
I even get that error when I try to remove the value with
$PreRead=.
This would be quite a useful function if I could get it to work.
Does anyone have suggestions? I'm using 3.0.1.1 on win98.
