Having to explain every now and then the difference between variables 
and string literals to students who are beginners in programming, and 
often enough failing in that [I of course refer to my explaining :-)], I 
tend to avoid constructions which are only interpreted by some 
isis_massage_input_hook (which just adds those parens and quotes back 
[see _isis.sl:224]), but do not conform to the general S-Lang syntax. ;-)

But you're right, one should also point out that there are these little 
helpers around each corner, which simplify the daily data analysis with 
ISIS. I also love the
   isis> !cmd
abbreviation for _isis->_sys_shell_cmd("cmd");  (which is basically 
system("cmd"); + a message about the status in case `cmd' failed).

But one should have an idea about where the magic comes from...

Cheers,

Manfred, being too German today?
