So v[i]=v[i]+1 define a recusion and not a reference to a value in a list like v[[i]]. *And* that v[i] is a function call is a "problem" of Mathematica's syntax. The true problem is that Toshiyuki Meshii try to use function values as arrays because FORTRAN's syntax make no difference between A(i,j) as an array reference *or* as an function call. Regards Jens
