***,

Thank you for getting back to me. I had a little difficulty describing what I was trying to do.

I start with a list which begins as follows:

{2,3,4,5,7,8,9,11,13,16,17,19,23,25,27,29,31

Now, I want to swap the 2 with the 4, the 3 with the 8, the 5 with the 9. "2" is the first element of SWAP LIST 1. "4", which I want to swap with "2" is the first element of SWAP LIST 2. "3" is the second element of SWAP LIST 1. "8", which I want to swap with "3" is the second element of SWAP LIST 2. And, so on.

The resulting list is

{4,8,2,9,16,3,5,25,27,7,32,49,64,11,13,81,121

Hope this is more clear.

Diana
