A matrix or array with one of its dimensions having zero elements looses its dimension after multiplying with scalar. Admittedly this is an extreme case, however it DOES make sense to retain an objects formal structure after multiplying with a scalar, as e.g. a matrix with zero rows IS a legal object in S. BTW, the prototype does retain the dimension. Best Jens Oehlschlägel # replication code
