Thanks. "Returns the product of numbers, performing any necessary type conversions in the process. If no numbers are supplied, 1 is returned." I understand 1 is returned, yet I am still searching for purpose. For now vague purpose is only to satisfy some other functions which process lists, like `reduce' or `apply', I am searching for confirmation if that was the sole purpose. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
