I have not tested, but the 'pick' solution is probably *slower* than the get/index one, due to the function call overhead for each element. I think I never needed such a case. Usually I try do build 'assoc'iation list for such purposes. That is probably the fastest, and surely most lispy :) - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
