MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The doc says: _multi_parts SEP ARRAY This function gets two arguments: a separator character and an array. As usual, the ARRAY may be either the name of an array parameter or a literal array in the form `(foo bar)' (i.e. a list of words separated by white space in parentheses). [...] But if I call it with "a literal array in the form `(foo bar)'" it behaves very strangely. Stuffing the same strings into an actual array and then using the name of that array works as I expect. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
