In Maple9, I started with an imported two column matrix (using the readdata function) and the got the data type (whether it be an array, or a list, or whatever) with the following code:

x:=Array(myMatrix[1..21,1];

y:=Array(myMatrix[1..21,2];

zip((x,y)->[x,y],X,Y);

Sorry for the ambiguity in the problem...I asumed that the school had the latest version of Maple and was sorely mistaken...

I did. All I got out was a huge mess. I did some more poking around and figured out how to get what I need. Thanks for your help.

Alec,

   I appreciate the help. However, I can not get zip to open on my computer. Is there a trick to it? It keeps just sending me back to original post.

Thanks again!
