->Do others feel that this is a regrettable development in the advance from ->v. 1.2 to v. 2.0? Or am I missing something elegant? It was very easy ->to include a line vln::=VeryLongName in a notebook or in init.m, rather ->than the clumsy $PreRead=StringReplace[#,"vln"->"VeryLongName"]&. I haven't yet used 2.0, My school just upgraded at the end of last semester, but I really liked the old version of making aliases. Also I liked the keyboard shortcuts for nesting (parenthesis, braces, brackets etc.) Is there any way to reclaim this stuff, or have I not dug far enough? --sarah Sarah Broadwell <sarahb at womyn.esd.sgi.com> <daphne at mills.edu>
