Jan 22	comment	Reassign values to symbols J.M.: I tried your example and it worked as written. However if I assign a list, say mList={a,b,c,d}, and try to substitute mList it doesn't work. However, all I've done is copied what you had. Since I hadn't used Scan before and am not all that comfortable with Hold, I didn't really understand it. I'll spend some more time with those functions so I see what you're doing. Thanks for the help.
Jan 22	comment	Reassign values to symbols A primary aim of mine is to be able to make a bunch of reassignments using map, rather than writing all of the assignment statements. Another aim is to use meaningful names for the symbols and then being able to retrieve the name of the symbol, along with any values I assign to it. Typically the symbols will represent lists, I just used integers to make it easier to write out an example.
