I am also continually making small changes to it when I get bored, unfortunately I don't seem to be getting bored too often at the moment :-( The no edit mode should not change the terminal modes but it does, it should be reworked. A manual page for it would be good, I can't remember everything that I have put in it in the last 12 years. For the future: The next thing that I think should be put into place is the matrix initialisation code so that I can say. mat a = idn(10, 10) Which defines matrix a as a 10x10 identity matrix. Will get around to it sometime (maybe). There is a bug when using the '.' matrix operator, the '.' must be seperated from its preceding argument by a space otherwise it could mistake the argument as a command word. I can't be bothered to fix it, it would mean restructuring the whole code. An Emacs mode front end would also be nice but I don't use emacs so it isn't there. Phil. ------- End of Forwarded Message
