hello,
if you enter 45,65,56 into the input dialog it is converted to a rowbox,
if you enter it as 45 65 56 it is assumed to be the expression 45*65*56,
finally if you enter it as {45,65,56} it will be seen as a list of numbers.
think of typing it directly into your notebook...it is the usual notation
best,
christoph
