Hi Roby

Very nice also; even prettier is, e.g.,

In[288]:= {1, 2,  3} \[LeftTee] (s \[Function] Sin[     s^(2 Log[    s]) ])

Out[288]= {Sin[1], Sin[2^(2 Log[2])], Sin[3^(2 Log[3])]}

and

In[289]:= {1, 2, 3} \[LeftTee] Sin \[LeftTee] Sqrt \[LeftTee] (s \[Function] Sin[ s^(2 Log[ s ]) ])

Out[289]= {Sin[Sin[1]^(1/2 Log[Sin[1]])], 
 Sin[Sin[2]^(1/2 Log[Sin[2]])], Sin[Sin[3]^(1/2 Log[Sin[3]])]}

for someone who thinks "#" and "@" are ugly.

I think I like LeftTee more than RightVector, since the former sort of "points" in the direction of application of the pure function.

Maybe LeftVector is another possibility?

Now I just need to devise a mnemonic keyboard shortcut ...

Cheers

Barrie
