Hello, I want to do the following: Given the list , data={abc, 1, 2.3, 3, 4} do this: First[data]=Rest[data] (wont work) basically creating a variable named for the first element in the list and assigning it to the remainder. abc={1,2.3,3,4} would be the result. There probably is a simple answer, but I can't find it. Thanks in advance Jim
