Thanks -- except, after digging out and reading the Basic Objects 
tutorial (which was useful), I think you mean "hence an atomic object"?  

Is "Atom" a defined term in Mathematica?  The tutorial doesn't seem to 
use it.

[And as an aside, is the shaded table of atomic objects in this tutorial 
supposed to be a *complete* list of *all* the atomic objects in 
Mathematica?  I'm never clear whether these shaded lists are supposed to 
contain all, or just some, of the objects they illustrate.].
