Yow. Presumably "nth" without an argument would mean the last. So @ints[1st..nth] means @ints[*] And if it's a unary with an optional arg, we can write @ints[nth+1..nth-1] Hmm, that's not quite right. My wife looks over my shoulder and says "What about zth?" Not knowing the history of A..Z already... But yeah, nth is pretty grabby. Larry
