I didn't bother trying that, because I assumed it would not work. I'm a little surprised it does!

Ziyad,

Just a comment, in your prior posts I think you commend on the speed of the calculaitions.

In the Help, something like "features in depth", they talk about using the vectorize operation and it being slow, so if you are dealing with large matrices the program that Richard provided is recommended. In your prior posts the vectoirze operator is used a lot, it looks nice, but maybe to speed up you might want to replace some of the operations with a program.
