If I understand correctly, your problem seems to lie in the use of AppendTo. This is a very tricky function, since it "resets" s without your control and sometimes things get messed up. Perhaps you could try to use simply Append, where you get a new list but s is not changed in the process. Essentially, what AppendTo does is s = Append[s,e]. -Tomas > Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:12:16 -0500 > From: burket at mailbox.sc.edu > Subject: opposite of AppendTo > To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > > AppendTo[s,e] appends "e" to "s" and then RESETS "s".
