I use Join enough that I like to overload StringJoin to do it: Unprotect[StringJoin]; x_List <> y_List := x~Join~y Protect[StringJoin]; Then I can do this: {1, 2} <> {3, 4} {1, 2, 3, 4} Why doesn't Mathematica already do this? It seem like an obvious use of <>. Or is there a good reason that they don't do this, and therefore if I do, it makes me a bad person? Mark
