Thanks for your answer (See included message below), but I'm afraid it's not exactly what I want: I want the function fun to RETURN, say x^2, but PRINT "-FUN-". It's like Graphics, that PRINTS "-Graphics-", but RETURNS a more complicated object, that it's possible to re-use for any other problem: In[1]:= g = Graphics[...] Out[1]= -Graphics- In[2]:= Show[%] Out[2]= -Graphics- It's like the difference between InputForm and OutputForm... Francois RENARD renard at limeil.cea.fr ------Beginning Included Message---------------------------------------- The function to solve your problem seems to be simple: fun[x_]:= ( x^2 >>> "abc"; (* This appends the result x^2 to your (existing) file abc. (Example for your action) *) "-FUN-" (* Alternative: Print["-FUN-"] *) ) fun[3] fun[4] fun[10] I hope, it helps G.
