<P>
If an operator other than those specifically defined for lists is given a 
single argument that is a 
<A HREF=r37_0053.html>list</A>, then the result of this 
operation will be a list in which that operator is applied to each element 
of the list. 
This process can be inhibited for a specific operator, or list of operators, 
by using the declaration <em>listargp</em>.

log {a,b,c}; 

  LOG(A),LOG(B),LOG(C) 


listargp log; 

log {a,b,c}; 

  LOG(A,B,C)

</TT></PRE><P>It is possible to inhibit such distribution globally by turning on
 the 
switch 
<A HREF=r37_0303.html>listargs</A>. In addition, if an operator has more than on
e 
argument, no such distribution occurs, so <em>listargp</em> has no effect.
