But Peter, that is what my questions are about... how to accomplish sequential numbering. So what is there at your citation that informs me about that? Although you have gone to some trouble to respond, I guess I'm having a lot of trouble understanding your meaning in these posts... My input in this thread started with a question directed at Eli about the use of % R (from dired of course) My questions are about dired mode. Eli's input indicated one could do something with % R from dired. What you've shown, at least in part does not apply to dired mode does it? At least some of the operators you keep referring to are not available in dired, or so it appears at this end. Since I've gotten pretty confused reading your replies maybe its time to wait for Eli if he is of a mind to respond, or mabye you can tell me how to do sequential numbering specifically from dired with a small example.
