Re Mathematica 5.0 running under WinXP Home. Am using... z = Regress[...RegressionReport->CovarianceMatrix]; X = CovarianceMatrix /. z; ...to extract the given matrix. However, when I use X[[k,k]] to access the k'th diagonal element, I get a row instead! The culprit is that MatrixForm is the X-head (as FullForm reveals). How can I strip away this head and make X a list of lists? Thankx. Bruce
