Hi,

Mathematica evaluate an expression from the inner 
parts to the outer
parts. Since Append[{{1,2},{3,4},{5,6}},{a,b,c}] 
is evaluated to
{{1,2},{3,4},{5,6},{a,b,c}} the later evaluation 
of Thread[] does
not find a Append that it can thread ..

Thread[Hold[Append][{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}}, {a, 
b, c}]] // ReleaseHold

or
MapThread[Append, {{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}}, {a, 
b, c}}]

may help.

Regards

  Jens

| If I run

|
| I would expect to get
|
| {{1,2,a},{3,4,b},{5,6,c}}
|
| but in fact I get an 'Objects of unequal length' 
error.
|
| On the other hand,
|
| Thread[foo[{{1,2},{3,4},{5,6}},{a,b,c}]]
| %/.foo->Append
|
| gives what I wanted.  Can someone explain what's 
going on?
