Kris, I don't see anything wrong with that construction - provided there is only one argument. It is often very convenient. The only problem might be when one combines it with // where the construction might lack clarity. What do you think the following will give? f@x@y f@x // y f // x@y David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: Kristen W Carlson [mailto:carlsonkw at gmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Hi, David Wagner emphasizes that he doesn't use the syntax function@argument (p. 37n), no explanation. To me it seems very handy. Any thoughts? Thank you to Andrzej and others who recommended this excellent book. Kris
