I was trying to implement a function in which a file name was passed as an argument for the function in Mathmatica 3.0. Within the function, then, I want to use the argument in a function call to ReadList[] to read in data from the specified file and process it. I tried doing this and the function will never "compile" (not sure what the Mathematica term is for this), it reports an error with the ReadList function. I also would like to do something similar with SetDirectory[] where a directory name is passed in as a function argument. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Aaron
