Walking before we run, etc. Gotcha. Different approaches and all, I expect. I tend to figure out what I want and then try and shoehorn it into what I already have. :) It looks like we need to be able to override operations on arrays, have multi-dimensional arrays, and do some rather odd slicing operations that give values still linked to the original matrices. Has anyone asked for complex number support yet?
