There is no difficulty in having a list as an option. Changing the first element of the list could be done as follows: In[39]:= Options[f] = {pars -> {a, b, c}} Out[39]= {pars -> {a, b, c}} In[40]:= SetOptions[f, pars -> {d, b, c}] Out[40]= {pars -> {d, b, c}} Or if you can't know the length of the list before hand or the values of each of the other elements In[42]:= SetOptions[f, pars -> (pars /. Options[f] /. {x_, y__} -> {g, y})] Out[42]= {pars -> {g, b, c}} In[43]:= Options[f] Out[43]= {pars -> {g, b, c}} -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
