Hello;
Using version 8.04. the above does not work for me, please
see below
----------------------
Clear[a,b,c,d,e];
lis={a,b,c,d,e};
Drop[lis,{{2},{4}}]
-------------------------
During evaluation of In[27]:= Drop::seqs: Sequence specification
(+n, -n, {+n}, {-n}, {m, n}, or {m, n, s}) expected at
position 2 in Drop[{a,b,c,d,e},{{2},{4}}]. >>
Which version did your command work on?
regards,
