Hi Andrzej, Actually there was no Module in version 1. (e.g. see the documentation for > Module). Module was introduced in Version 2. Version 1 had only Block. > Yes indeed. The moment I read your reply I recalled having read about it somewhere (Wagner's book perhaps) - also that one of the main reasons for its appearance was that Block is a dynamic scoping construct and lots of people were confused by the name and using it as a lexical scoping construct instead, which of course is very error-prone. > Andrzej Kozlowski > > (Nice tricks, by the way. I have know about some of them for a long time > but others are new to me.) Well, thanks. Somehow all of them came out as results of my experiments with Mathematica, at the times when I did not have Maeder's books or other sources of information on this topic. I actually think that I would not have come to them had I known more about Mathematica at the time. Regards, Leonid
