Steve,

test = {{{4, 5}, {5, 9}, {6, 2}}, {{2, 3}, {3, 5}}, {{7, 1}, {9, 8}, {0,
          7}, {2, 8}}, {{4, 3}, {6, 5}}};

Drop[#, -1] & /@ test
{{{4, 5}, {5, 9}}, {{2, 3}}, {{7, 1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}}, {{4, 3}}}

Not having used Mathematica for months, I have forgotten some of the little
I knew.

I have a list of lists like this:

test = {  {{4, 5}, {5, 9}, {6, 2}},
	 {{2, 3},  {3, 5}},
	 {{7,1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}, {2, 8}},
	 {{4, 3}, {6, 5}}};
test // ColumnForm
              {{{4, 5}, {5, 9}, {6, 2}},
                {{2, 3}, {3, 5}},
                {{7, 1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}, {2, 8}},
                {{4, 3}, {6, 5}}}

What I want to do is just remove the last element in each sublist, with this
result:

           {{{4, 5}, {5, 9}},
             {{2, 3}},
             {{7, 1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}},
             {{4, 3}}}

There must be some simple functional way to do this, but I haven't found it.
I will appreciate any tips. Thank you.
