Hi Ladislav, On Monday, February 24, 2003, 1:13:27 PM, you wrote: LM> a: "12345" LM> b: skip a 2 LM> c: b LM> clear a ; nothing happens to b here LM> index? b ; == 1 (b is reset to tail b as soon as it is evaluated) LM> insert a "12345" LM> index? b ; == 1 LM> index? c ; == ? 3 If this is not acceptable to you, then we have two choices: change the implementation so that both B and C get reset to the tail or the head of the series whenever they get out of bounds, or change the way series are defined/documented to account for the concept of "being out of range". For the latter, you would have to explain to me what a series is and what should happen when FORMing etc. an out of range series, because it does not match my concept of series of values .
