Hi:

I think it might be important to point out here that you can't use %
inside a Module to refer to the result of the command just above.  The
reason is that the code inside a module is a compound statement and
thus % does not refer to the output of the line above.

When I was a beginning user in Mathematica this drove me crazy for about
a week.

Cheers,

Des Penny
