Arghh! This turns out to be real work. The code is somewhat messy, and I found more bugs. This one, for example: x=(a b c d e) x[4,1]=X print $x Result: a b c X b c d e So we should settle on the meaning of a[i,j]=b when j < i. I suggest that this always inserts b right before a[i] (provided j is legal).
