My previous reply was incomplete because I pressed the TAB key followed
by the ENTER key, thus causing focus to move the the 'Send Now' button
and sending it. Robert/Junko: Maybe this is a minor GUI issue you can tweak.

Anyhow, back to the thread...

What is the difference between ...

  s = integers({2.4, 1, 0, 3.22, -5})
  for i = 1 to length(s) do
     if s[i] then 
        ...
     end if
  end for

and 

  s = {2.4, 1, 0, 3.22, -5}
  for i = 1 to length(s) do
     if integer(s[i]) then 
        ...
     end if
  end for
